Hi,
I haven't check this group in a while so maybe what I am looking
for is already here.
Does anyone have a recipe for Cranberry Bread Pudding or a good
recipe for plain bread pudding.

Plain Bread Pudding

Take day old white bread, preferably crusty bread, butter each slice on
both sides. Layer in bread pan, starting with bread, adding brown
sugar and if desired, raisins or currants, bread, sugar (again fruit if
desired), bread. Add 1 beaten egg and a cup of scalded milk.

Bake at 325F for 30 minutes or until top is medium golden brown. Serve
with maple syrup of your choice.

One egg to a cup of dairy seems kind of skimpy to me. I also don't see why
you would have to scald the milk. I like one egg per half cup of dairy,
preferably half and half or light cream. I also like to let the bread soak
in the mix for a while before baking. Instead of white bread, I like
challah or brioche. Day old cinnamon rolls are another good choice. (I
recently saw a version made with day old Krispy Cream doughnuts!) I would
also add some vanilla or some bourbon.
