MOTHER'S BREAD PUDDING

I was hungry for my mother's bread pudding (she has been gone 14yrs) and I could not find her recipe...if she even had one. So I looked at recipes on line and could tell they weren't exactly what I wanted. I had a stale loaf of French bread (I like the crustiness) and started with what I remembered. I don't care for raisins (but you can add some if you like)and I prefer nutmeg over cinnamon and I want real buttery taste and not dry. I like it sort of light and moist....this is what I got. It tasted just like I remembered!

6 cup(s) homogenized milk
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar

  • Pour milk mixture over bread cubes in buttered pan. Lightly press bread cubes into milk mixture. Top with maybe 8 or 10 thin butter patties scattered over top. Let stand for a half hour, periodically pressing bread cubes down into milk mixture so they absorb the liquid.

This recipe comes from New Orleans' famous Mother's Restaurant. Although I've made it without the brandy, it does taste better with it. Prep time includes soaking the bread pieces.

BREAD PUDDING - MOTHER'S RESTAURANT Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-170560

Number Of Ingredients 20

Buttered Brandy Sauce
1/3 cup clarified butter
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons brandy
2 teaspoons Mexican coffee liqueur
Pudding
6 cups cubed stale French bread
1 tablespoon brandy
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup fruit cocktail in syrup
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened, plus extra for greasing pan
Buttered Brandy Sauce - Combine butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, brandy and coffee liqueur in top of double broiler over simmering water and keep warm.

Steps:

  • Pudding - Combine bread, brandy, eggs, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, fruit cocktail, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and butter in bowl and mix until bread is well moistened. Pour into buttered 13x9-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees until browned around edges and on top, about 1 ½ hours. Serve hot or cold with Buttered Bandy Sauce. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Fresh bread will make your pudding too dense. Use bread that's at least a day old, or even better, two days old.
  • Cube the bread evenly: This will help it cook evenly in the oven.
  • Use a variety of breads: This will give your pudding a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a mix of white, wheat, and rye bread.
  • Don't over-soak the bread: The bread should be just moist, not soggy. If you over-soak it, the pudding will be too mushy.
  • Use a flavorful custard: The custard is what really makes bread pudding special. Use a custard that's made with milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. You can also add other flavors, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or chocolate.
  • Bake the pudding until it's set: The pudding should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold: Bread pudding is delicious served warm or cold. If you're serving it cold, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic comfort food that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the best bread pudding ever. So next time you have some stale bread, don't throw it away. Make bread pudding instead!
