Ahhh Comfort Food!

I absolutely love "Comfort Food". And one of my favs is bread pudding. I made a simple "bread & butter" dish and it was yummy! The lemon sauce is a must for you to have the ultimate comforting bread pudding experience.

Bread & Butter Pudding

6 slices white bread
2 T butter
1/4 c raisins
2 eggs
2 c milk
1/4 c sugar
1/2 t nutmeg
1 t vanilla
Dash salt

Cut the crusts from the bread and butter each slice on one side. (I never bother cutting the crusts off) Place 3 slices, butter side up, in bottom of 1- to 1 1/2-quart buttered casserole. Sprinkle with raisins. Repeat with second 3 slices of bread. Beat eggs slightly and add milk, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt. Pour over bread in casserole. Sprinkle top with extra nutmeg, if desired. (I also sprinkle cinnamon) Let stand 1/2 hour. Bake in 350 deg. oven for 30 min. or until custard is firm. Serve with Quick Lemon Sauce.

Quick Lemon Sauce
1 c powdered sugar
2 T lemon juice
Dash salt

Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add a little water if necessary to make sauce of thin consistency.
