Bread Pudding

2 cups stale but not dry bread 2 eggs

1 quart milk

½ cup sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

Soak the bread in the milk until it is very soft, then mash it fine. Heat together until nearly boiling. Beat the eggs until light and add to them the sugar, salt and vanilla. When well mixed, stir this into the bread and milk, pour the whole into an earthenware baking-dish, set in a pan of water, and bake three-fourths of an hour in a rather slow oven.

For chocolate bread pudding, melt two squares of chocolate over hot water and add this to the soaked bread and milk. For bread pudding with raisins, add one-half cup raisins.
