Create old-fashioned bread pudding in your microwave, just like grandma use to make. This is a delicious baked custard desert now done in the microwave. Children will love it!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 Cups Soft Bread Cubes
• 2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten
• 2 Cups Of Milk
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 Cup Raisins
• 1 Tablespoon Butter or Margarine
• 1 1/2 Quart Glass Casserole
• Rotary Beater

1. Combine milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt into a 1 1/2 quart glass casserole. Mix until you have a very thick cake-like batter

2. Beat with a rotary beater.
   
   TIP: May beat with a fork if necessary. Just make sure ingredients are well blended.

3. Stir in bread cubes and raisins.

4. Dot with butter.

5. Put the casserole dish in the microwave and cook for 26 to 28 minutes at 1000 watts. Set power of microwave to SIMMER. If you do not have a SIMMER setting, then reduce your total power to 50%. Do NOT cover the casserole dish. The bread will rise in the dish as it rises so please do not be alarmed.

6. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving. Cut into squares. Excellent when served with milk in a dish either hot or cold. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the bread from a week's worth of cooking. No need to pay expensive prices for someone to cube your old bread laying around the house.
• This time to cook in the microwave will need to be adjusted depending on the watts of your microwave and the elevation you are located. This recipe was made using a 1000 watt microwave.
