Old-fashioned Bread Pudding

== Description ==
Adapted from the 1956 Betty Crocker cookbook
* Serves 6.
== Ingredients ==
* 3 cups soft bread cubes, use 4 cups for a firmer pudding
* 2 cups milk scalded with ¼ cup butter
* ½ cup sugar
* 2 eggs, slightly beaten
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
* ½ cup seedless raisins
== Directions ==
# Add bread cubes to a greased 1½-quart baking dish.
# Whisk together milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt and cinnamon or nutmeg.
# Add raisins.
# Pour over bread cubes and gently combine.
# Place in a pan of hot water.
# Bake at 350 °F for 40 to 45 minutes. 
== Variations ==
* Chocolate: Add ½ cup chocolate chips instead of raisins. Omit the spices. (Cinnamon does taste good with this variation though I have tried it).
* Butterscotch: Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
== Notes ==
* You can use non-fat dry milk in place of regular milk. If you do this, whisk together the milk and water to make 2 cups. Add the butter. Heat until steaming in a microwave-safe measuring cup in the microwave oven. Follow directions as given.
