Number Of Ingredients 16

10 slices stale bread, torn into pieces (cubes)
4 cups milk, scalded
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup raisins

  • Mix the eggs with the sugar.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and pour the egg-and-sugar mixture over the bread-and-milk mixture.
  • Although it doesn't state to do this with any bread pudding I usually press the bread down with a spatula to help the milk to be absorbed,cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  • Set the baking dish inside a slightly larger pan.
  • Pour warm water into the larger pan about halfway up the sides of the bread pudding dish to make a "bain marie".
  • Bake the bread pudding for about an hour, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • For the Whiskey sauce:.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, heat the milk and the sugar until they almost come to a boil.
  • Pour a small amount of the milk and sugar mixture into the egg yolks, whisking all the while.
  • Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Blend the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water.
  • Add to the saucepan.
  • Bring the custard to a boil, whisking constantly for several minutes until it thickens.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and whiskey.

BRENNAN'S BREAD PUDDING WITH BRANDY SAUCE



Brennan's Bread Pudding With Brandy Sauce image

When most bread goes stale it gets tossed in the trash or fed to the birds. But for some lucky loaves, going stale is just the beginning of a transformation into bread pudding - the ambrosial dessert that is a mainstay finale at Creole restaurants across New Orleans. This recipe comes from a restaurant in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The thick creamy sauce is what makes it a truly memorable dessert.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread: French bread or a baguette works well for this recipe, as they have a crispy crust and a chewy interior that can withstand the garlic butter.
  • Make sure the garlic butter is flavorful: Use a combination of fresh garlic, melted butter, and herbs like parsley, chives, and basil. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Spread the garlic butter evenly: Use a pastry brush to spread the garlic butter evenly over the bread. This will ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread should be baked until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the bread immediately: Garlic bread is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can also slice it and freeze it for later use.
