Famous Bread Pudding
Yeild one 10" x 12" Pan

8 oz Whipping Cream
8 Each Fresh Eggs
1 1/4 Cup Sugar

Or until tops are golden brown.

What is a water bath? A water bath is a larger pan then your bread pudding pan filled with water, Just below the top of your pan with your bread pudding in it. The secret here is the water keeps the side from browning and makes your bread pudding hold its flavor betteras well as keeps the edges from getting dry.

My bad, mama. I looked in Dessert Breads but neglected to use the search feature. Thanks so much for these recipes. The first one looks heavenly with the Half-n-Half and the whipping cream - perfect for a holiday party or special dinner. The second one sounds delicious and maybe less calories so I could have it a lot!

Enjoy!!!! And do look up the other recipes!!
