If you are a regular reader, you saw the bread roundup last October and you know I love to bake bread. I include bread in my dessert blog because there are so many delicious desserts which are made with bread. The vintage recipe I share with you today is one of those. Of course, you can make it with store-bought bread too.

Bread Pudding
1 cup bread cubes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or flavoring
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups milk, scalded
1/2 cup raisins

Combine sugar, salt, vanilla, butter, cinnamon and egg. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Add bread cubes and raisins. Mix thoroughly. Pour into well-buttered baking dish. Set in pan of warm water. Bake in moderate oven (350F) about 1 hour, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool. Serve with cream. If desired, the flavor may be varied by adding 1/2 cup cocomalt, and substituting 3 tablespoons sugar for the 1/4 cup. 4 servings.
