Bread and Butter Pudding

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup sugar

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature

5 slices white bread with crust

½ cup raisins

2 cups milk

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add cinnamon to sugar and mix well. Set aside. Generously spread butter on one side of each piece of bread. Cutting diagonally, slice each in half. Arrange triangle slices in pan, slightly overlapping, with butter side up and cut edges facing the same direction, making a spiral. As you add the bread, sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture and raisins. Pour milk in small bowl, add eggs, and using whisk or fork, blend well. Pour milk mixture over bread and raisins in baking pan. Let sit for about 15 minutes for bread to absorb liquid. Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Serve the pudding while still warm in individual dessert bowls. It can be eaten plain or with cream.
