Grandma’s Famous Bread Pudding Recipe

Indulge in the comforting taste of our homemade bread pudding, made with soft day-old bread, warm cinnamon, rich vanilla, and a perfectly creamy custard. Finished with a silky homemade vanilla sauce, this classic dessert is warm, nostalgic, and perfect for any occasion. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Ingredients 4–6 cups day-old bread (cinnamon rolls can also be used) 4 large eggs 2 cups whole milk or evaporated milk 3/4 cup sugar (white or brown) 2 tbsp butter, melted 1 tbsp vanilla 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional) BREAD PUDDING 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. 3. Fold in the bread cubes until evenly coated. Stir in raisins or nuts if using. 4. Pour into a greased baking dish and let sit for about 15 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard. 5. Bake until the center is set and the top is golden brown (about 35 minutes, depending on your baking dish). Grandma upped the temperature and it was more crispy and on the overcooked side, so if you want a more pudding like consistency keep the temperature at 350. 6. Serve warm with homemade vanilla sauce. HOMEMADE VANILLA SAUCE Grandma decided that a vanilla sauce is better than the lemon sauce she made, so here is the recipe. When she made it, she was very satisfied with it and we hope you will be too! Ingredients 2/3 cup milk 1 cup sugar 2½ tbsp cornstarch 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp vanilla Directions 1. Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. 2. Slowly whisk in the milk. 3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. 4. Add the butter and continue cooking until slightly thickened. 5. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. 6. Allow to cool slightly. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat before serving. bread pudding, homemade bread pudding, classic bread pudding recipe, cinnamon bread pudding, easy bread pudding, old fashioned bread pudding, bread pudding with vanilla sauce, homemade vanilla sauce, comfort dessert, baked bread pudding, holiday dessert, easy dessert recipe, warm desserts, bread pudding from scratch, Southern desserts, cinnamon dessert, vanilla custard, family recipe #BreadPudding #HomemadeDessert #Baking #ComfortFood #DessertRecipe
