I experimented today

[Marthe48]

I had stale sweet rolls and lots of eggs. So I mixed egg and milk with cardamon, cinnamon and nutmeg, poured it over the stale rolls in a small casserole pan and made some pretty good bread pudding. I didn't add sugar, so it isn't very sweet. I drizzled some honey over it.

I wish I would have remembered the vanilla. Oh well.

1. Forgot the bourbon too!

I also like raisins.

[Marie Marie]

3. No raisins. Uh-uh. No. Not ever.

but, to each his own...

[Major Nikon]

4. I soak them in bourbon first

[Marie Marie]

5. Well okay, if you use enough bourbon that MIGHT make them more palatable and if not,

I probably wouldn't gag as much or be able to see clearly enough to pick them out. So, that may work.

8. Substitute dried cherries if you like

They soak up more bourbon.

2. Making bread pudding

Is a very smart way to use up stale bread!

12. I used to do this when my kids were young

Good way to use left over bread and it's a good desert for children. I would add a can of applesauce to the beaten eggs, don't remember what else, just remember the kids loved it. Haven['t made bread pudding in years, now I add the left over bread to the dogs' food.

I have a jar of mincemeat left from Xmas and was looking on the internet for a recipe to use the mincemeat, saw a recipe for bread pudding that called for mincemeat. sounded tasty. Trying to cut back on my baking, it's a fattening past-time!

6. I have a small ice cream maker

Once made vanilla ice cream (for company of course) and forgot the vanilla. Glad I tasted it first. Quick stirred the vanilla in (it was soft) and no one was wiser.

7. i did this at a womens wilderness camp! our cabin was in charge of dessert...

...so we grabbed the left over breakfast pancakes...added all the other ingredients ( they werent happy about all the eggs we used)...and our cabin mate had whisky!!! It was such a hit they included it in the next years cook book.

9. I have done that with

Cinnamon bagels. Delish!

11. Cardamom is the best spice. Sounds yummy.

13. It was good for breakfast

I'll make it again with my rum-based homemade vanilla and maybe some raisins. Thanks for the ideas!
