Description:

Bread Pudding is thought of as an old fashioned dessert that had its humble beginnings in 13th century England. It was first known as a "poor man's pudding" as it was made from stale leftover bread that was just moistened in water, to which a little sugar, spices and other ingredients were added.

I remember I cut and paste this before from a post of Ms. G when I asked her how to make bread pudding and I don't want to lose it so am sharing it again here...


Ingredients:

3 pcs old big size pandesal broken up into pieces (or 6 slices loaf bread)
6 whole eggs (beaten)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar (add more if you want sweeter)
dash of salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract lemon zest or drops of lemon extract to taste
1/3 cup raisins (optional if you do not like raisins)

Directions:

Instructions from Ms. G -

Just throw them in all together and mix.
Line a llanera (or any ceramic deep dish) with melted butter.
Pour in the mixture (be sure it does not go over an inch below the rim). Steam for at least 30 minutes or until done using Nona's tusok-tusok system, hehe.

I enjoy making bread pudding because it is always an adventure. The results are different, every time, because it depands what kind of bread you use.

btw, Ms. G also said to try using calamansi (Philippine lemon) peel - cut them into fine pieces then add them to the mixture. It adds a subtle flavor to the dish.
