Duff's Bread Pudding (A New York Restaurant)

1/4 cup MELTED butter


1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 and 1/2 cup sugar


1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla


1-1lb loaf day old bread or 7 buns torn into chunks (I like to dry the bread out some for better results. Leave open overnioght on table)


In LG mixing bowl combine all ing. except bread, raisins, butter. Mix well with elec mixer. Add bread, raisins, butter and mix well with spoon.(May seem dry, but it is o.k.) Pour into GREASED 8x8x2 pan. Bake 350 until lightly browned (about 20-30 min)

1 and 1/4 cup milk

2 TBL cornstarch

Cornbread





2 cups of self-rising cornmeal


2 eggs beaten


2 cups buttermilk


2 Tablespoons bacon drippings, melted, or veg. oil





Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease your 9-inch skillet with about 2 tablespoon of shortening or oil (Use bacon drippings instead if available). Leave oil in bottom of pan... Place pan in oven to heat ....


Combine cornmeal, 2 eggs, buttermilk, and the melted bacon drippings. Mix well. I find a whisk does this nicely. Pour into hot skillet. Batter will sizzle.


Bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Serves 6 to 8


Hint: Sprinkle a little cornmeal in the hot pan before adding the batter. It will brown and add a crispier texture.
