For utilizing bits of bread that might otherwise be wasted, there is no better plan than to make a bread pudding. This dessert may be used with any dinner or lunch, as jams, jellies, and practically all kinds of sauce may be served with it to impart a suitable flavor.
4 cups milk
2 cups stale bread crumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Makes 8 servings.
1. Heat the milk and pour it over the bread crumbs. Allow them to soak until they are soft.
2. Beat the eggs, add the sugar and vanilla to them, and stir this into the mixture of crumbs and milk. Mix thoroughly.
3.Pour prepared mixture into a buttered baking dish, and bake in a moderate oven for about 45 minutes.
NOTE: If desired, jelly or jam may be served with the bread pudding or any desirable sauce, such as Lemon Sauce, Vanilla Sauce, or Old Fashioned Custard Sauce, may be used and the pudding may be served either hot or cold.
