Aunt Verna's Biscuit Pudding (also known as bread pudding)




Aunt Verna always had "Biscuit Pudding," as she called it on her stove. The pecans were from the tree in their backyard and the leftover biscuits from breakfast.

Ingredients:

About 4 cups leftover state bread or biscuits. (French bread works really well)
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 stick melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped pecans
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt

Chop the bread into small pieces and soak in the milk and eggs for about 15 minutes. Add butter and remaining ingredients and stir well. Melt 1/4 stick butter in a small skillet add batter and bake at 350 degrees until slightly firm to the touch and browning around the edges. Eat it warm with a glass of cold milk.
