Homemade Colonial Bread Pudding Mount Vernon Inn Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10x12-inch baking pan.
• Combine half-and-half, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well.
• Arrange bread pieces on the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour cream mixture over bread. Allow to soak 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the baking pan into a larger pan; fill the larger pan with water halfway up the sides of the smaller pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over low heat. Pour into a small bowl; add confectioners' sugar and mix well.
• Remove bread pudding from the oven. Poke holes throughout using a butter knife. Pour butter sauce over the top.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, let the bread crumbs soak in the half-and-half for 6 minutes, stir in the sugar, the butter, the salt, the nutmeg, the cinnamon, the eggs, the vanilla, and the raisins, and pour into a buttered 13 by 9 inch baking dish. 2. Put the dish in a larger baking pan, pour enough hot water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the dish, and bake the pudding in the middle of a preheated 350F oven for 1 hour, or until it is golden.
