Sweet raisins and a smooth hot lemon sauce make this bread pudding extra special. Even today, I get requests for the recipe from people who tasted this traditional dessert years ago. —Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

SERVINGS: 6

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 50 min.

Ingredients:

  • 3 slices day-old bread, cubed
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • LEMON SAUCE:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Toss bread and raisins in an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar, butter and salt; cook and stir until butter melts. Remove from the heat. Whisk eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Pour over bread and raisins.

    For sauce, combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice, peel and butter until butter melts. Serve over warm or cold pudding. Refrigerate any leftovers. Yield: 6 servings.
