Thanksgiving Bread Pudding Recipes

BREAD PUDDING THANKSGIVING

Steps:

• Grease 9x9 pan with butter and preheat oven to 350 f.
• Mix in a mixer or beat thoroughly : milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt to form thin custard.
• Add and mix by hand the remaining ingredients (cube or tear the bread first) into the liquid custard.
• (I always eyeball this part, mixing the wet and dry -- usually I add the dry ingredients to a bowl, then pour the liquid until it covers a little more than half with liquid- enough that if you press down, the top parts get moist but not wet.).
• Press lightly to encourage bread to absorb custard. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 6 hours, depending on how stale the bread is.
• Pour into lightly buttered/greased 9x9 pan.
• Bake in oven for 1/2 - 1 hour or until golden brown on top but of bread pudding consistency inside.
