Mama Steve's Bread Pudding - Bread Pudding

• 2 cups (475 ml) biscuit crumbs
• 2 cups (475 ml) milk
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) partially melted butter
• 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) sugar
• 1 tsp (5 ml). vanilla
• 4 slightly beaten eggs
• spices, optional
• raisins, optional

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (200 C.).
2. Mix together the sugar, milk, eggs, butter and vanilla.
3. Place the biscuits, (they always used leftovers) in a large buttered casserole dish,(it needs to be large enough dish, that when you put all the ingredients in it, that the dish is only about 1/2 full, because it doubles in size).
4. Pour the milk mixture over it.
5. Mmix slightly.
6. Mixture should be about the consistency of fresh uncooked cornbread dressing, (and for you non-Southern people, I don't know what to tell ya'll to compare it to, just I guess, thick but soupy).
7. Put a pan of water on the lower shelf of the oven.
8. Then put the baking dish in the middle of the oven, uncovered.
9. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until when you stick a knife in the middle it comes out fairly clean.
10. It will still be a little juicy on the edges, but it will finish cooking after you take it out.
11. Some people put spices, raisins, or whatever in their bread pudding, but Mama Steve did not, and I loved it that way.
12. You can top it with a lemon sauce or vanilla sauce, or just eat it plain, which is the way I like it.
