Paul wants me to make bread pudding soon. In 20 years of marriage, I've never made it. Can you believe it?
I saw a recipe for Pumpkin Bread Pudding in the lastest issue of Guideposts, which he saw , but preferred something more traditional. In fact, he said, "Can you find a gourmet bread pudding recipe?" He grinned just saying it.
I laughed. "Isn't that an oxymoron? I mean, bread pudding is poor man's dessert. The thing that makes it gourmet for a poor man would be the raisins."
"Ew, no! Definitely no raisins."
So, I'm asking you fellow bloggers to help me out, please, on this one. I much prefer your recipes over scouring online. Thanks!
Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

There ya go! I love bread pudding, but Josh doesn't, so I don't make it much.
I wrote a story a few years back about searching for a bread pudding recipe that tasted like my mother's. The two I've seen here look close. But I suspect I was just missing her.
ReplyDeleteI cooked it at home once, it was not good. But I will try your recipe. I hope I will make good this time.
