Notes: This has always been a favorite in my family. I've loved it since I was a child. Bread pudding dates back to at least 13th century England, and it was known as "poor man's pudding." My mother used to add raisins to half of the bread pudding.
It's an easy way to use up stale bread and the heels. You can collect the leftover bread in a container in the freezer, and when you have enough collected, use it to make a bread pudding.
To speed up preparation time, simply butter the bread before tearing it into pieces. Then add the cold milk and other ingredients to the beaten eggs, and pour onto the bread pieces. If you do this, add at least 15 additional minutes to the baking time.
