Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade biscuits or adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the vanilla. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. You can also substitute the biscuits with stale bread, which works well in bread puddings. This recipe is a great way to utilize leftover biscuits from your brunch or even pair it with dishes like Diet Banana Shake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Auntie's Bread Pudding warm, drizzled with a simple vanilla sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. For a festive touch, sprinkle some cinnamon on top before serving. It pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad like Apple Nut Saladnederland, Texas, for a balanced meal or dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover bread pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pudding in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but be careful not to dry it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this bread pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to bake it fresh the next day for the best texture. If you prefer, you can also bake it ahead and reheat individual servings when ready to serve.
What can I substitute for the biscuits?
If you don't have biscuits, stale bread works perfectly in this recipe. You can use any kind of bread, such as challah, brioche, or even whole grain bread. Just make sure to cut it into cubes and let it soak in the milk mixture to absorb the flavors.
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can replace the milk with a dairy-free alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk. Just ensure that your biscuits are also dairy-free if you're aiming for a completely dairy-free dish. The texture might slightly vary, but the flavor will still be delicious.
