This is the very first dessert I ever attempted from a cook book. I was newly married and we had very little money, but always had bread, butter, and milk around. It comes from my first and the only cook book that I had at the time Mccalls copyrighted 1963. The cover has since fallen off, and I still refer to this today for my classic family favorites. This is probably the simplest of bread pudding recipies around, but want to share it anyway.
