Recipe: Vanilla Sauce Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 3 beaten eggs
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 slices toasted farmhouse-style bread, cubed
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the bread pudding. Gently stir in bread cubes and raisins, then spoon the mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until browned and set in the middle, covering with foil after 30 minutes to avoid excessive browning. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- For the vanilla sauce, whisk milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens (10-12 minutes).
- Stir in vanilla extract. Pour the sauce over the warm bread pudding or serve it on the side.
Enjoy!
