American bread pudding

I found this recipe in a WWII (replica) booklet of recipes - see bottom of page. That used dried egg and milk, which I did NOT use!

Ingredients
milk
butter
bread
1 tblsp sugar
1 egg
vanilla (or spice!)
jam or marmalade

Equipment

saucepan
spoon
casserole

oven:
time in oven: 45 minutes

preparation time:
heating milk and butter

Cooking process

Heat the milk, butter and sugar until the butter melts. Don't boil it! Remove from the heat.
Cut a couple of slices of bread, then cut them into cubes. Not necessary to cut the crusts off! Put this into the casserole, and add the hot milk. Leave for a bit to cool.
Stir the egg into the mix.
Cook (without a lid) at for at least 45 minutes until set. It may need longer than that.
Serve with jam or marmalade.

American bread pudding

This is the original recipe. I used an oz (of butter!) because I was using semi-skimmed milk. Since the recipe was vague about temperature, I used a cooler oven, and it wasn't cooked! Nice, though. This is very similar to my bread and butter pudding, but even simpler. But still very nice! Amazing for a WWII recipe.
