Grandma D's Bread Pudding

When I was little I used to spend a lot of time at my grandparents. I was Grandpa's little buddy. We'd make chocolate ice cream with vanilla ice cream and Hershey's syrup.  We'd sit and watch t.v. while cracking walnuts. He'd make me a scrambled egg in a small Pyrex dish and microwave it to cook.  And we'd devour a casserole dish of Grandma's bread pudding.

4-6 slices white bread cut into cubes (texas toast bread is great for this, and I use kitchen scissor to cut it)
2 T. butter/ margarine, melted  (I forget it sometimes, still tastes the same)
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 C.  sweet raisins  ( I really don't measure them out, just dump 2-3 little "snack" boxes in)
3 eggs - beaten
1/3 C. sugar
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
2 1/2 C scalded milk

Preheat oven to 350* F.
-Set milk in small sauce pan over lowest heat possible. Scald during next prep.
-Cut bread into cubes and place in casserole dish.
-Drizzle with butter.
-Sprinkle with brown sugar & cinnamon.
-Add raisins
-Mix in eggs, sugar, vanilla, & salt
-Alternate adding a little scalded milk and gently stirring it all together.
-Place casserole dish in cake pan with 1" hot water in pan.
Bake 60-70 mins.

This is great served warm or cold as dessert or breakfast!  Or if you're like me, an anytime snack.
