We found this recipe tucked inside my mom's Bible when going through her things. It has become a family tradition on the first snow day of the year and if that doesn't happen, which can be the case here in central Virginia, we know it'll be the featured dessert at Easter and anytime a comfort food is in order.

3 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 cup raisins
½ cup light brown sugar

BETTY'S OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING



Betty's Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding image

This is the recipe I grew up with. It came from the 1950's "Picture Cook Book". My assembly is a bit different, though. I think it's easier. Also, you could use your microwave to heat the milk and melt the butter. Just be careful not to scramble your eggs in the hot milk. This can be served with any hard sauce, bourbon sauce or ice cream, but I like it with just a little half & half. My mom always poured milk on hers.

  • If you don't have stale bread, you can dry it out in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes.
  • Use a rich custard base for a more decadent bread pudding. Add eggs, milk, cream, and sugar to your liking.
  • Flavor the custard with spices, extracts, or liqueurs. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and rum.
  • Add mix-ins to your bread pudding for extra flavor and texture. Some popular options include raisins, cranberries, nuts, and chocolate chips.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a greased baking dish until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. You can also top it with whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.
