This old-fashioned bread pudding recipe is so easy, traditional, and is the custard dessert recipe we all love! Plus, an optional vanilla sauce to drizzle on top!

Ingredients

  • 6 slices stale bread (french bread, buns, rolls, donuts, challah, toast or another type of bread)
  • 3 Tablespoons of butter (1 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp)
  • 4 Beaten Eggs
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon butter (salted (but unsalted is ok too!))
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and use 1 Tablespoon of butter to coat the inside of your 8 in. square baking dish.

  2. 2

    Break your bread (I made larger pieces, rather than crumbling it up) in to the buttered baking dish.

  3. 3

    Melt your remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and drizzle over bread pieces.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients (don't forget to beat your eggs first) until mixed well.

  5. 5

    Pour this mixture over the bread, making sure to evenly coat each piece.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the bread pudding springs back after lightly touching it with a fork.

  7. 7

    Grab a small saucepan, and melt (on high) 3 Tablespoons of salted butter.Once melted, turned it down to medium heat and wait a bit to let the butter brown.
