Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Butterscotch sauce:
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
Pudding:
1 pound day-old rustic white bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2" cubes (12 cups)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Pinch of kosher salt
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 cups pecan pieces

Steps:

  • For butterscotch sauce:
  • Bring brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking to dissolve sugar. Boil until mixture is syrupy and measures 1 1/3 cups, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add cream and bourbon, if desired, and stir until smooth. Let cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool completely, cover, and chill. Rewarm before serving.
  • For pudding:
  • Toss bread, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in another large bowl until pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add cream, poppy seeds, and salt; beat to blend. Place bourbon in a small bowl; scrape in seeds from vanilla bean (reserve bean for another use). Whisk to distribute seeds, then add to egg mixture, whisking to blend well. Pour egg mixture over bread mixture in bowl. Add pecans and toss to coat well. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2" glass or ceramic baking dish, spreading out in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove plastic wrap and bake until top is browned in spots and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours. Serve bread pudding with butterscotch sauce.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf day-old French baguette
5 eggs
3 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
  • Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
  • Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
  • Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

AUNT FREED'S BUTTER PECAN DESSERT



Aunt Freed's Butter Pecan Dessert image

This is rich, but Good. I like that it's hard to do wrong, and that you can also make it with other puddings. Chocolate pudding is delicious in this, as is coconut cream pudding topped with toasted coconut just before serving. It's also good with pitachio pudding for St. Patrick's Day.
