Bread Pudding

by Grandma Mallory

3½ cups dried Bread, broken into small pieces
2 cups scalded Milk
2 tbsp Butter or Margarine
½cup Granulated Sugar
2 large Eggs; well beaten
¼ tsp Table Salt
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
½ cup Golden Raisins
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Preheat oven to 350º. Lay bread pieces on the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish.

In a small saucepan, combine milk and butter. Bring mixture to a fast boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Cook until milk just begins to stick to sides of pan. Remove from heat and add all ingredients, except vanilla. Mix well after adding each ingredient, then allow mixture to cool for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix well. Immediately pour mixture over bread pieces, making sure bread is evenly distributed inside dish.

Bake in a 350º oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean after being inserted into the center of pudding.
