DESSERT PUDDINGS: This is a fool-proof dessert that has been my family's favourite for many years. Hope you'll like it too.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING:

 

 

 

3 eggs                                                                         

½ cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract                                                    

pinch salt

3 ½ to 4 cups milk                                                      

10 to12 slices white bread

½ cup raisins                                                               

1 tsp cinnamon

 

 

 

Beat eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Add milk and stir well to mix. Strain mixture into a large jug.

 

Butter one side of each slice of bread, remove crusts and cut into triangles. Butter a large glass baking dish with lid and arrange bread triangles in single layer in the dish. Sprinkle in raisins and cinnamon. Pour milk mixture over bread and let soak for 30 minutes before baking.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Bake pudding, covered, for 30 minutes. Raise heat to 400 degrees, remove lid and bake 30 minutes more, or until puffed and golden.

 

Serve hot with custard/vanilla sauce--see posted recipe--if desired.
