Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 12 to 16 ounces white bread, stale but not hard

  • 3/4 cup raisins

  • 4 large eggs

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups whole or low-fat milk

  • Whipped cram, milk, or heavy or light cream

Instructions

Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Spread the bread evenly in the prepared baking dish then scatter the raisins over the top. Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and 3 cups milk. Pour the mixture over the bread and let stand for 30 minutes. Periodically pressing the bread down with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
