Winter time here is cold, snowy, and not really easy on old bones. One of the ways to combat this, is making a good, hot, dessert. My Grandma made bread pudding because it was economical, hot, and a good way to use old bread. All you need is a couple eggs, some milk, and a little fruit. Of course, I jazz it up a bit by adding caramel sauce and ice cream.
Bread Pudding
3 cups torn bread
1 cup of milk
2 eggs slightly beaten
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of raisins (I like
golden raisins)
1 tbsp orange zest
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear up the bread and put it in a lightly greased pan with the raisins. Whip together eggs, milk, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla. Combine the egg mixture with the fruit and bread. Put it in the oven for about 30 - 35 minutes or until a butter knife inserted into the center of the dish comes out clean.
Let cool for 20 minutes, drizzle with
caramel sauce, top with a small amount of vanilla ice cream and enjoy.
