Pudin De Pan (Cuban Bread Pudding)

Cut up your bread into chunks and put them in a mixing bowl. The harder the bread, the better this comes out. You can use really any kind of bread.

Pour the can of evaporated milk and about half the milk over the bread and allow it to soak up for about 5 or 6 hours. It should be absorbed but not liquidy. If it needs more milk, put it in now and let it soak for another hour or so until it’s soft and absorbed. Pour in the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla and mix together with a spoon. Then add the raisins and almonds.

Pour into a greased baking pan (I usually use a casserole pan or a square pan) and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. It should be golden and when you insert a toothpick, it should be clean.

Enjoy!
