MOM'S THANKSGIVING BREAD PUDDING



Mom's Thanksgiving Bread Pudding image

This is my mother's bread pudding recipe. Every year, I make it about 10 times between Thanksgiving and Christmas-everybody loves it! It is delicious warm, but also quite good cold with milk poured over it.

Provided by BarbMazz

Categories     Bread Pudding

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 slices white bread, crusts removed
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup seedless raisins
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 cups milk
⅔ cup white sugar
4 large eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.
  • Spread bread slices with butter, then use a sharp knife to cut each slice into 4 squares.
  • Arrange 1/2 of the bread squares in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with raisins and 1/2 of the cinnamon. Cover with remaining bread and cinnamon.
  • Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until a film forms over the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add sugar; stir until dissolved.
