Just Plain Ole Bread Pudding

Hi it's NeeCee again from PineCreek Style. I am here to share another family recipes.

Our family loves the ultimate comfort food; bread pudding. It is always expected to be on the menu for the holiday's. 
Or, whenever the grand kids put in a special request. 
(Who could refuse such cute kids with questioning lips and sad puppy-dog eyes? They know thatlook always melts Nonny's heart!) 
Just Plain Old Bread Pudding

A cute note....One morning, our 3 year old daughter was eating bread pudding for breakfast.  A neighborhood had stopped in for a morning cup of coffee. 
Her daughter asked my daughter, "Watch ya eating?". 
Sissie replied; " Just plain old bread pudding!"
"AND... that's how we named my bread pudding!"
  "Our daughter...Tara aka Sissie"...
You will need a large bowl for mixing and a 9 x 13 oblong baking pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Just Plain Ole Bread Pudding by NeeCee
8 cups cubed of day old buttermilk bread, leave the crust on
9 eggs
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 3/4 cups of heavy whipping cream
1 cup sugar (or sugar substitute/Truvia)
3/4 cup butter melted
3 teaspoons pure vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Nuts are optional, may be added on top of each portion. 
I also use toasted, salted pecans.
In a large mixing bowl place the cubed bread.
In a measuring pitcher mix; 
ALL other ingredients, blending well.
 Mix Well...
Pour liquid ingredients over the cubed bread and mix well. 
Cover all of the bread with the liquid. 
Mixed and in the pan, ready too cook.
Place in a greased 9 x 13 baking pan, uncovered.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick or knife when done, should come out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Oh my Goodness-Golly! YUMMY for the TUMMY!
Yummy Caramel Sauce
*Grandma Hacker's Recipe

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
dash of table salt
Homemade Caramel 
While the pudding is baking:

Bring sugar, water and lemon juice to a boil.
Reduce the burner to medium and cook until sugar is dissolved. the mixture will turn a golden amber color. 
Stir in butter until it melts. Remove from heat.
Serve over bread pudding if desired.
*I usually only make this for Holiday's otherwise, I use ice cream topping!
