This clever recipe gives leftover cornbread a delicious second life. Day-old cornbread is crumbled and soaked in a rich, sweet custard mixture featuring eggs, milk, two types of sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Baked until golden, it creates a wonderfully comforting pudding with a soft, baked texture. Perfect for using up leftovers, it makes a fantastic dessert or sweet side that can be enjoyed either warm or chilled straight from the fridge.
