From Mama’s Kitchen - Bread Pudding
Friday, April 4th, 2008As I have mentioned before, I worked in a grocery store deli/bakery after high school. One of the things we’d make with the day old bread that didn’t sell was bread pudding. I loved it then, and I love it now.
Dennis says “Hold the raisins, I don’t eat wrinkly fruit”. I say, they are going in, you can pick ‘em out.
I can’t find much on Cocomalt, except it was apparently a chocolate malt powder/granule you mixed with milk. It was one of the sponsors of the old Buck Rogers radio program. Plenty of old adverts on the web, but I can’t see anything that indicates it is still available. If anyone one knows more, please let me know.
