I think my mum’s poor man’s pudding is a bread pudding and it’s delish… unfortunately…. I can’t find the recipe. I’ll update if I find it…. 🙄

Oooooooo I just made bread pudding at work today! Found a receipe online called ‘Grandma’s or Mom’s Bread Pudding. I have the receipe at work because I’m trying to find ways of using some of the stale bread and such besides throwing it away! This receipe has apples in it and has a sauce you pour over it. It was pretty good! See if I can remember it:

Well I wasn’t too far off–here is the receipe as I have it:

4 cups bread cut into cubes
2 cups apples sliced to bite size
1-3/4 cups Milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup raisins

For the Sauce:
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

This serves 8.

To put it together:
Preheat over to 350 degrees (175 degrees C)
Butter a 9 x 17 baking dish (I ususally put confectioners sugar to powder it)
In a large bowl mix bread cubes, raisins, and apples together
In a medium sauce pan, put brown sugar, milk and butter, heat and stir until butter melts
Pour this over the bread mixture and mix
Place bread mixture in baking dish
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla and cinnamon and pour over bread mixture
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender and toothpick comes out clean from center

For sauce:
In saucepan mix all ingredients except vanilla, stirring until the mixture boils
Immediately take off heat and sitr in vanilla
Serve sauce over servings of bread pudding.

Now this was good–not sure of measurements of ingredients but when I get back to work, I’ll update but you can start with this. :yum: Also, the bread I used was a very stale and hard load of french bread.

Also have a receipe for coconut bread pudding if you’re interested–haven’t tried it yet but will post it if you want.

Now this is for Coconut Bread Pudding:

Serves 12

2 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon sale
2 tablespoons coconut extract
1-1/2 cups flaked coconut, divided
1/2 cup fresh coconut
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes

Preheat over to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter, and dust with confectioners’ sugar

In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, egg yolk, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cocnut extract. Mix until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of flaked coconut and 1/2 cup fresh coconut. Fold in bread cubes until evenly coated. Pour into prepared baking dish. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Bake on a cookie sheet in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup flaked cocnut. Continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes or until center springs back when lightly tapped.

If you like coconut, then try this! Hope this works! :yum: 🙂

Thanks I’ll have to try them both bread pudding is one of my favorites. The Cracker Barrel has a great one but they only make it for a couple of months in the winter when they have soup bowls on the menu. The waitress told us that they use the bread they scoop out of the center to make the bread pudding and it just wets my appetite for it
