Church Potluck - Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

    4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter, softened
    2 cups milk
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3 cups soft bread cubes (about 5 slices bread)
    1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place butter in a small bowl. Scald milk (heat it to just below boiling), and pour it over the butter; stir to mix well.
     
Beat eggs in a large bowl. Gradually stir in milk mixture then stir in sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Place bread cubes and raisins in a 1-1/2-quart baking dish; pour in milk mixture. Stir gently to evenly moisten bread. Set baking dish in a larger pan; add hot water to larger pan to come about halfway up sides of baking dish.
     
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until knife inserted into pudding comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.
