Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying liners
4 cups half-and-half
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups chopped pecans
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
12 slices stale cinnamon-raisin bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
1 cup apple cider
1 cup bourbon
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • For the bread pudding cups: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners and spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray. (Alternatively, spray the insides of twelve 2-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs. Add in the pecans, butter and bread and stir to coat. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully fill the muffin tins about two-thirds of the way up with the bread pudding mixture. Cook until the puddings set, about 25 minutes.
  • For the bourbon sauce: In the meantime, add the cider, bourbon, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice and salt to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce reduces by one-half, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the bread puddings from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. While still warm, use a skewer to poke a few holes into each pudding and pour in a couple of tablespoons of sauce. Serve immediately.

BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups stale French bread, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup sultana raisins
2 egg yolks
1 stick butter, not margarine
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
  • Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.

Provided by Alan in SW Florida

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (See Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
5 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup golden raisin
12 slices stale firm-textured white bread, cut into cubes (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (See Note)
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • MAKE THE PUDDING: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the pecan mixture and blend well. Stir in the milk and raisins.
  • Place the bread cubes in the prepared pan. Pour the egg mixture over them and toss gently until the bread is soaked. Let the pudding sit until the bread has absorbed nearly all the liquid, about 35 minutes. Stir the mixture once or twice to moisten the bread evenly.
  • Meanwhile, MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Bake the pudding for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the pudding and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the topping is browned.
  • Meanwhile, MAKE THE BOURBON SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cornstarch, and cook, stirring, until dissolved. Whisk in the cream and vanilla, and continue cooking, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the bourbon and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • To serve, spoon the pudding out on plates, then ladle a bit of the bourbon sauce over each serving.
  • NOTE: To toast the pecans, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
4 cups day-old cinnamon-raisin bread with crusts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup pecans, toasted, chopped
Bourbon Sauce

Steps:

Bake until pudding is puffed and golden brown on top, approximately 50 minutes. Remove dish with bread pudding from water and cool slightly. Cut into squares. Serve bread pudding warm with sauce.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb the custard better and result in a more moist bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough.
  • Use a variety of bread: Using a variety of bread will give the bread pudding a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Soak the bread in the custard overnight: This will give the bread time to absorb the custard and result in a more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a sauce of your choice: Bread pudding is delicious served warm with a variety of sauces, such as bourbon sauce, vanilla sauce, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich and creamy custard and flavorful bread, it is a perfect dessert for any occasion.
