And to change taste use a different extract such as orange or rum. *****Version2 Crockpot Bread Pudding 2 cups scalded milk 2 cups dried or stale bread pieces any kind 2 eggs beaten slightly 1/3 cup sugar white or brown your choice can use sugar substitute 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinimon 1 cup raisins or other chopped dry fruit optional 1 teaspoon vinilla Combine everything except bread in crockpot.
