Doan’s Bread Pudding via Bonnie

Doan’s Bread Pudding

Submitted by Bonnie Dunham

Doan was a migrant worker during the apple harvest. He would send this bread pudding for the day care children several times during the season. I asked him if I could have the recipe and at first he said it was in his head but the next time he made it, he wrote the recipe down for me. I sprinkle the top with cinnamon before baking and sometimes substitute craisins for raisins. Otherwise, it’s his recipe.

Mix to a smooth texture in a large bowl:

3 eggs
11/2 cups sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ stick melted butter

Pour over 10 slices cubed, white bread, crusts removed
Add ½ cup raisins

Mix carefully with a rubber spatula.

Pour into a greased 8x8 pan.

Bake at 400 degrees, 20 minutes til golden.

Use a half-sheet pan for a double batch.
