Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

Sometimes, the simple desserts are the best.

4 cups soft bread cubes
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup seedless raisins

Oven: 350 degrees

Place the bread cubes in a buttered 1-1/2 quart baking dish and set aside. Scald milk and butter. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, salt, cinnamon and raisins.

Stir some of the milk into the egg mixture, then gradually add the entire milk mixture, stirring constantly. Pour over the bread cubes. Bake until a silver knife inserted an inch from the edge comes out clean, about forty minutes. Serves six to eight.
