Bread Pudding Bites

Method

Preparation of Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the day-old bread into small bite-sized cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard Mixture

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Bread and Custard

    Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to absorb.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Form the Bites

    Using your hands, form small balls or bites from the soaked bread mixture, squeezing gently to hold them together.

  3. 6

    Fry the Bites

    Carefully drop the bread pudding bites into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 7

    Drain and Toss

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the bites from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, toss the bites in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
