Bread Pudding II Recipe I also recomend cutting off all crust from the bread, it makes it taste stale. But with these simple changes it's great. will make it again.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins optional

3/4 cup white sugar

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

4 eggs, beaten

6 slices day-old bread

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F "175 degrees C".

Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan.

Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
