Recipe by Kathleen Barber, Atlanta, Georgia Day-old toasted bread cubes work best, absorbing plenty of the custard.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 cups fat-free milk
9 cups (1/2-inch) cubed French bread
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
1 large egg
1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °.
To prepare pudding, spread 2 tablespoons butter onto bottom and sides of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Combine 2 cups sugar and next 3 ingredients (through 1 egg) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Gradually add the egg mixture to milk mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in raisins; pour into prepared dish. Place dish in a roasting pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Bake at 350 ° for 50 minutes or until browned and set.
