How to Make Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  3. Heat the milk in a separate saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot milk over the melted butter, whisking until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until light and frothy.
  5. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the warm milk mixture until well incorporated.
  6. In the prepared baking dish, gently combine the bread cubes and raisins.
  7. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the bread and raisins, gently stirring to ensure all the bread is moistened.
  8. Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan.
  9. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set and lightly golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or cold, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
