Papa and I combined old recipes to make BREAD PUDDING:
We combined 2 cups milk with one can of evaporated milk. Some recipes call for cream, but I believe the old Cajuns would have saved their fresh cream for coffee. Then we tore up a small loaf of real French bread (baguette) and let it soak in the mixture for an hour.
We beat 2 eggs with 1/2 cup sugar and 2 t vanilla and poured this over bread mixture and mixed it well. We then poured that into a baking pan that had been lined with 2T melted butter. It baked slowly, 300 degrees, for at least an hour and a half.
The sauce we poured over it when it was still hot was: 1/2 c butter with 1/2 c sugar and 1 cup evaporated milk. This was stirred well over low heat and then poured over bread pudding. It turned out yummy!
Our newest family members came by that afternoon.
And we love them a lot
