   Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and use 1 Tablespoon of butter to coat the inside of your 8 inch square baking dish.

   In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients (don't forget to beat your eggs first) until mixed well.

   Pour this mixture over the bread, making sure to evenly coat each piece.

6. 6

   Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the bread pudding springs back after lightly touching it with a fork.
