Bread Pudding (and Bread Pudding Sauce)

Contributed by Misty Muhlestein, Concord 1st Ward

Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk (or 2 cups of Half & Half)
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark, depending on taste preference)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into small pieces (french bread works best)
1/2 cup crushed pecans (optional)

Directions:

  • In medium saucepan, heat milk (or Half & Half) over medium heat just until film forms over top
  • Combine butter and milk, stirring until butter is melted
  • Cool to lukewarm
  • Combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla (If you make the sauce to put on top of your bread pudding, adjust the sugar in the bread pudding recipe. Change it to 1/3 cup sugar because the sauce has the other 1/3 cup in it.)
  • Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute
  • Slowly add milk mixture
  • Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole
  • Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Pour batter on top of bread
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set
