The whiskey sauce is what makes this recipe incredible. It comes from my friend Beth, who is a great cook! She also uses nuts or pineapple for a variation.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf bread (any type white, wheat, etc. 16 oz.ish)
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups packed brown sugar (hard)
5 cups half-and-half or 5 cups milk (or a combination)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup whiskey

Steps:

  • For the pudding:.
  • In a large bowl, mix beaten egg with vanilla, brown sugar, cream/milk with wire whisk until blended.
  • Add raisins.
  • Break up bread into 13x9x2 pan and pour the liquid (above) in slowly.
  • When all the liquid is in, use either your clean hands or a spoon to squish the bread so that it falls apart and becomes mixed evenly with the liquid.
  • It needs to be very wet and somewhat “giggly”.
  • Bake in 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes to one hour- test at 45 minutes with a knife to see if the pudding is set up.
  • The pudding should bounce back a little and the knife should come out almost clean from the center.
  • The pudding will look very raised and “poofy” when you remove it from the oven.
  • It will fall in a minute.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan, melt one stick butter or margarine.
  • Add brown sugar and stir constantly until melted.
  • Add whiskey and stir again until heated.
  • Double the recipe if you like a lot of sauce on the bread pudding, but use only ¾ cup of the whiskey.
