Name: Old Fashioned Bread Pudding Recipe | Seniors Guide
Ingredients: Unsalted butter. A few tablespoons gets melted and drizzled over top before baking. The result is an extra-flavorful, crisp top.; Whole eggs and yolks. This combo makes for a rich, full-flavored custard.; Milk or half-and-half. A fuller-fat dairy is the way to go with this dessert, so if you’re using milk, you’ll want to stick with whole milk.; Granulated sugar. You’ll use just enough to make the dessert decidedly sweet, without being too sweet.; Vanilla extract. It’s not a misprint in the ingredient list — you’ll use two full tablespoons here. This ensures the custard and the bread are packed with a big vanilla flavor.; Citrus zest. Finely grated orange or lemon zest is totally optional, though I always include it. Mixed into the custard, it adds a gentle fragrance to the dessert.
