My mom's best bread pudding recipe is rich with milk and eggs and chock-full of raisins. It's delicious served warm with a silky vanilla sauce.
Ingredients
•
3 cups whole milk
•
1 1/2 cups white sugar
•
1/4 cup butter, melted
•
3 eggs, beaten
•
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
10 slices hearty farmhouse-style bread, toasted and cut into cubes
•
1 cup raisins
•
1 1/4 cups whole milk
•
1/2 cup light brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons butter, melted
•
1 egg
•
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
•
1 pinch ground cinnamon
•
1 pinch salt
•
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2
For bread pudding, whisk together milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
3
Gently stir in bread cubes and raisins.
4
Lightly spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes; cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
5
For vanilla sauce, whisk together milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a heavy saucepan until smooth.
6
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
7
Pour sauce over warm bread pudding or serve on the side in a bowl.
