This is an old family recipe. For many, bread pudding is for the poor, Me, I love it. It is probably because I eat out too often in restaurants for business. This is real home cooked food.
Ingredients:
Pudding:
- 375 ml bread (crust removed)
- 500 ml milk

- 2 ml nutmeg
Caramel sauce:
- 125 ml sugar
- 125 ml brown sugar
- 30 ml flour
- 15 ml butter

Method:
- Place the bread in a baking dish (9 X 13 inches)
- Warm the milk and pour over the bread
- Mix the eggs and sugar and then the butter and nutmeg

- Bake at 3500 F until the pudding is firm (about 30 minutes)
