BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE



Bread Pudding with Southern Bourbon Sauce image

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread for a more complex flavor and texture. Stale bread works best, as it will absorb more of the custard mixture.
  • Soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the flavors of the custard and become soft and tender.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for the bread pudding. This will ensure that the bread pudding is evenly cooked and has a nice, crispy top.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You can also drizzle it with your favorite sauce, such as caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
