Answer 1

BREAD PUDDING

1 cup bread
2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup sugar
grated lemon rind
lemon flavoring

Remove crusts from bread. Pour milk over soft bread. Allow to stand until soft, about 30 minutes.
Separate eggs.

Add egg yolks, slightly beaten, 2 Tablespoons sugar, and grated rind of 1 lemon.

Pour into buttered baking dish and set in pan of water to bake until it sets.

Beat egg whites until stiff, gradually adding scant 1/4 cup sugar while beating, and a dash of lemon extract, lemoncello, or lemon juice (whatever you have). Spread the egg white mixture out on top of the pudding while still warm, then return to oven until slightly golden brown.

Cool, and just before serving add a spoon of tart jelly in the center of the meringue of each serving.

Answer 3

Simple Bread Pudding

A loaf of stale bakery bread, torn or cut into 1-inch bread cubes
3 cups milk, half-n-half, or a combination of both
1/2 stick butter (4 Tbsp.)
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
Extra sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling on top

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees and butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Toss the milk, butter, cinnamon and sugar into a saucepan, and heat gently over medium heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Place bread in a large bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the bread, making sure to cover all the bread. Weigh the bread down by placing a plate or pan on top of the mixture, held down with a few cans from the cupboard. Let sit for about five minutes, making sure the bread gets good and soaked.

Beat the eggs and pour on top of the bread mixture; stir to thoroughly combine. Pour mixture into 8-inch pan and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Place the pan into a larger baking dish and place in the oven. Add enough hot water to the larger dish until the water reaches about an inch from the top.

Bake for 45-70 minutes. The pudding will be puffy and golden when it's done; when a knife stuck into the center comes out fairly clean, the pudding is done.

Enjoy it warm (with vanilla ice cream) or cold. Bread pudding keeps well for a couple of days; just cover and store in the fridge.
