Bread Pudding

I'm looking for an old-fashioned bread pudding. My grandmother made it for me when I was a child. It was a simple recipe that she sometimes put raisons in, otherwise it had a cinnamon taste. --Macie
Hi Macie, If you have a slow-cooker, I’ve got just the recipe you’re looking for: English Bread Pudding. It’s a fairly traditional recipe (except for the slow-cooker), and calls for dried fruit, nuts and cinnamon. If you don’t have a slow-cooker, or would like to try a simpler recipe, head over to our sister site, http://www.EasyEverydayCooking.com , for a super-easy recipe (using raisin bread), Raisin Bread Pudding.

    We just started harvesting our home-grown asparagus, but some of it grew to giant size before we got to it.... I'd like to make some homemade asparagus soup from these giant stalks. Could you add a recipe for that? Thanks! --your "fan-grandaughter" :) JoAnn

  • Question
    I have several cookie recipes I would like to try but they all call for shortening (which I have never used in anything, and can't imagine ever using!). Can I use butter instead and get the same results? What about in pie crust? Thanks for all your help in the past - you are the greatest! --Nana Ruth
