Bread Pudding

I was chatting with a friend a few days ago and she suddenly asked me if I have a recipe for bread pudding. She said she has a lot of stale bread and thought making a pudding would be a good idea. I said I don't have a recipe, but have an idea what ingredients are needed. While chatting,  I surprised her by making bread pudding and sending her pictures. The pudding was in the oven in less than 10minutes. Trust me, if you have all the ingredients and you had an idea(or your friend's idea), experimenting is so easy to do! Within an hour, I was able to send her pictures of the the finished product. Now is that awesome or what? Lol..

Bread pudding is very popular in many countries including Philippines, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico, France, Germany, other Asian countries and USA. In the Philippines, we just call it pudding, from the Spanish word budin. It is a bread-based dessert consisting mainly of stale bread, cream or milk and egg. Some recipes may include vanilla, dried fruit, cinnamon, honey and nutmeg. In some countries, sauces like bourbon sauce, custard sauce, caramel sauce, maple syrup or whipped cream on top of the pudding.
