THE BEST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, salt, cinnamon, eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that it is completely covered.
• Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish until melted, about 1 minute. Drizzle the butter over top of the custard and then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes.

NOODLE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar and the salt. Continue cooking until butter melts, then remove pan from heat; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and put cooked noodles and raisins, if using, in it; toss gently to combine.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour this mixture over noodles and sprinkle top with remaining sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife inserted in center comes out clean, or nearly so; center should be just a little wobbly. Run under broiler for about 30 seconds if you like a browned top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
