OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING
Bread pudding is a delicious treat and an even better way to reduce food waste! For this bread pudding recipe, collect the heels and any extra slices of bread you have and freeze them. When you have enough to measure six cups (this is about six slices of bread), thaw the slices and start baking this warm and comforting bread pudding.

BEST BREAD PUDDING WITH VANILLA SAUCE
We found this recipe tucked inside my mom's Bible when going through her things. It has become a family tradition on the first snow day of the year and if that doesn't happen, which can be the case here in central Virginia, we know it'll be the featured dessert at Easter and anytime a comfort food is in order.

POOR MAN'S PUDDING (POUDING CHOMEUR)
Living in Quebec you learn many things. One, you learn that shoveling snow is considered a winter pastime. Secondly, and more deliciously, you learn that maple syrup can be put on a heck of a lot more than just pancakes (crepes up here). This little recipe is call Poor Man's pudding, and there is probably a recipe for every single family in the Province. This is the one my wife's family makes, and is fantastic. Yes, it's a little sweet, but nothing an ice cold glass of milk can't fix!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large heavy pan, bring to a boil the maple syrup and the cream. Pay close attention, because it will boil over! Once a slow roll begins, continue for about 3 to 4 minutes, and remove from the heat.
- With an electric beater, beat the butter and the sugar together. Add the eggs and continue beating for about 2 minutes.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and the salt. Add the dry ingredients into the the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.
- Pour the batter into a 13x9-inch pan. Pour the maple syrup/cream mix on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or all by itself!
- *NOTE*: a variant that I saw on a local television cooking show called for doing all the above steps, but using single serving baking cups. Before adding anything, put in one or two frozen raspberries, then the batter, followed by the maple/cream mix.
- Makes an impressive and tasty quick dessert on a cold winter night for guests.

Tips:
- Choose a quality bread: Stale or slightly dry bread works best for bread pudding, as it will absorb the custard more easily. Brioche, challah, and French bread are all good options.
- Use a variety of spices: Bread pudding is a great way to use up leftover spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other spices like cardamom, ginger, or cloves.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite sauce: Bread pudding is delicious served warm with vanilla sauce, caramel sauce, or fruit compote.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's also a budget-friendly dessert. Whether you're looking for a classic bread pudding recipe or something a little more creative, you're sure to find a recipe in this article that you'll love.
