Cessna In Flight

For breakfast today, I made bread pudding. I’m calling it a Lazy Mom’s pudding because I was greeted by rainy weather when I woke up, thus the bed was more inviting than the kitchen. But I got up anyway despite wanting more shuteye, looked for bread pudding recipes and was discouraged to see most recipes requiring creaming and caramelizing. Aak! So much work for what should be a lazy Sunday morning!

So I cut up day-old bread, mixed together a cup of melted butter, 2 cups of sugar, about 2 tablespoons of vanilla, 2 cups of milk, a handful of raisins and dumped them all on the bread. Yes, dumped. This mom didn’t want to do anything  harder than that today.

I checked the kids and found them still in dreamland, watched DZMM teleradyo for 30 minutes, then poured the mixture in a buttered baking dish and baked them for 20 minutes at 170C.

I made some pudding sauce too. In a pan, I melted the butter,  then added brown sugar, milk, vanilla and corn syrup. Don’t ask me about the portions because I just made a rough estimate of the ingredients. Anyway, how could you go wrong with all those sweet stuff?

Not bad, huh? Maybe I’ll try doing pudding the complicated way next time. But for now, this is just fine.
