Old Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
Bread pudding, in my view, is the ultimate comfort food. Warm, creamy bread soaked in a sweet, spicy custard has a hug-like quality in a bowl. This classic bread pudding recipe transports me to simpler times.
I remember my mother preparing this dessert on crisp fall evenings. The kitchen would fill with the comforting aromas of vanilla and cinnamon as she mixed eggs, sugar, and spices. Stale bread transformed into soft, pillowy squares, absorbing the fragrant custard. Each bite was a delightful surprise, combining crunchy almond slivers with juicy golden raisins.
Perfectly set on the outside but still velvety inside, fresh from the oven, it was irresistible in its cozy baking dish. My mother would let my sister and me scoop the first spoonfuls straight from the dish; that buttery brioche melting in a wash of warm spices and sweet vanilla. Drizzled with rich cream sauce, it was the perfect treat—simple yet so delectable.
Each mouthful of this timeless dish lets me revisit those wonderful memories. Try it for a taste of simpler times!
Old Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce is a beloved treat with centuries of history. It can be served with custard sauce or whipped cream for added flavor and richness.
