Fried Bread Dough Donuts......
This is a favorite that my mom use to make for us growing up. I loved it and still do, but you have to make peanut butter frosting to go on top. Yum Yum!!!!

Making these are super easy. Just use some fresh bread dough that has risen. It can be keep in the refrigerator until your ready to make them. Then cut off a good size chunk and make it into a donut shape. Then fry in the deep fat fryer. Put on a plate that has some paper towels on it to let it cool a bit.

To make up the peanut butter frosting just use powdered sugar, peanut butter, & milk. I suppose 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar, 2 Tb. peanut butter and just enough milk to make it look like a frosting. I have also found that using french vanilla coffee cream adds a nice extra flavor to most frosting's I make.

These could be eaten as a dessert or breakfast. It's your choice. I think we usually had them as a desert, but with using whole wheat bread dough why not for breakfast?

Eat & Enjoy!

My mother in law sent me this recipe today.  I am
looking forward to trying it out.

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
Buttering each  slice of bread and sprinkling it with cinnamon before
cutting it into cubes makes every bit especially tasty!

1/2 cup raisins
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.  Spread one side of bread with margarine or
butter.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Cut bread into 1 inch cubes.  In
medium bowl, combine bread cubes, sugar and raisins.  In another bowl
blend eggs, milk, salt and vanilla.  Pour liquid over bread mixture and
lightly mix.  Transfer to baking dish sprayed with oil or non-stick
spray.  Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes till a metal knife inserted

Bread Pudding
This is what we made at my mom's house this weekend. So yummy and I found out my husband really like's it too. It has been years since I have eaten bread pudding and I think now I will be making it more. It will be a good way to use up that extra bread that is getting old & dried out.

4 1/2 c dried bread cubes
1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups milk

Put the bread cubes in a 8 x8 pan. Then mix up the sugar, eggs, cinnamon, salt, vanilla & milk and pour over the bread cubes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 mins or till it is golden brown & look like it's set.

Nutmeg Sauce:
3 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Heat all ingredients together and then in a separate bowl mix up 3 Tb. corn starch with some water and use it to thicken the sugar nutmeg mixture.
