Archive story

Bread pudding has survived because the logic is sound: dry bread absorbs custard, then bakes into something tender, sweet, and sustaining. American versions range from plain colonial-style puddings to Southern restaurant desserts with bourbon sauce. This basic version keeps the foundation visible and leaves room for raisins, nuts, chocolate, or sauce.
