BETTY'S OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING
This is the recipe I grew up with. It came from the 1950's "Picture Cook Book". My assembly is a bit different, though. I think it's easier. Also, you could use your microwave to heat the milk and melt the butter. Just be careful not to scramble your eggs in the hot milk. This can be served with any hard sauce, bourbon sauce or ice cream, but I like it with just a little half & half. My mom always poured milk on hers.

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread for the best flavor and texture. Stale bread is ideal, as it will absorb the custard more easily.
- If you don't have stale bread, you can dry it out by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it in a low oven (200°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until it is dry and crispy.
- Use a good quality custard base. The custard is what gives bread pudding its rich and creamy flavor, so it's important to use a good recipe.
- Don't overmix the custard. Overmixing will make the custard tough and rubbery.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. Bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover fruits, nuts, and spices. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor.
- Bake the bread pudding until it is set. The pudding should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Serve the bread pudding warm or cold. Bread pudding is delicious served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, but it can also be served cold for a refreshing summer dessert.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dessert that will be the hit of your next gathering.
