Equipment Needed:

Ingredients:

For the Bread Pudding:

• 4–6 slices day-old bread, cubed or torn
• ½ cup raisins
• 2 cups milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

For the Vanilla Sauce:

• ½ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
2. Assemble the Pudding: In a large bowl, combine bread and raisins. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg if using. In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Pour over bread mixture, pressing down gently so bread absorbs liquid. Let sit 10–15 minutes.

4. Make Vanilla Sauce: While pudding bakes, in a saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and gently bubbling. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.
5. Serve: Spoon warm vanilla sauce over servings of bread pudding. Enjoy!
