Puddings

• Soak 6 slices of dry cubed bread in 1 1/2 cups of warm milk.
• Add a dash of salt
• Combine and beat well
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

  and add to the bread and milk mixture

• Add 1/4 cup raisins or chopped dates.
• Stir lightly with fork
• If you do not wish to top with meringue, whip egg whites until stiff and fold in here

This is adjusted for a steam pudding pan. The style can vary. My mom used a round cylindrical pan. My wife uses a pan that is a bit fancier with a center cylinder somewhat like an angel food cake pan (but suitable for steaming).

• Chop:
  • 10 oz. dates
  • 10 oz. raisins
  • 2 oz. citron (sprinkle with part of the flour).
