10 sl Day-old French Bread,
-crust; removed
Broken into pieces
4 c Milk; scalded
1 c Cream
4 Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla
1 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Nutmeg
1/4 c Butter
1/2 c Raisins
Butter baking dish. Cut the day old French bread into 2″ thick slices.
(Remove crust first). Butter one side of Bread. Place bread in the baking
dish – in one layer – butter side up. Combine milk, cream; add beaten eggs
and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the seasoning, the
melted butter and the raisins. Pour over the bread and allow to stand
until the mixture is absorbed. This can be left to stand overnight in the
refrigerator. Preheat the oven 350x. Bake the pudding in a bain Marie – a
roasting dish big enough to hold the baking dish. Add hot water – at least
2″. Bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. I like to
soak my raisins in some brandy, bourbon, or rum. Whiskey Sauce for Bread
