Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Glaze
5–7 pieces of bread (about 4 cups / 240 g) (use what you have! A little stale is best.)
2 tablespoons melted butter (28 g)
4 eggs
2 cups milk (480 g)
3/4 cup sugar (150 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla (5 g)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (3 g)
Tear the bread into pieces and place it in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an 8×8-inch baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the bread, making sure every piece gets soaked. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Vanilla Glaze
2 tablespoons melted butter (28 g)
1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (120–180 g, adjust for desired thickness)
3 tablespoons milk (45 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla (5 g)
Whisk the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm bread pudding before serving. Enjoy!
