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.

PUMPKIN BREAD WITH BROWN BUTTER AND BOURBON



Pumpkin Bread With Brown Butter and Bourbon image

This hearty pumpkin bread is a sophisticated twist on the traditional version with the addition of bourbon (teetotalers can substitute apple cider), browned butter and cardamom.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     breads, quick breads, dessert, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Two 8-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon (or use water or apple cider)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée, homemade or canned (1 15-ounce can)
4 eggs
1/2 cup olive or other oil (such as canola)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and arrange a rack in the center. Grease the insides of two 8-inch loaf pans with butter or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the frothy white milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn a fragrant, nutty brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Brown butter can burn quickly, so watch it carefully. (A tip: You will know your brown butter is almost ready when the frantic sound of bubbling begins to die down, so use your ears as well as your eyes and nose.)
  • In a glass liquid measuring cup, combine bourbon and vanilla. Add water until you reach the 2/3 cup mark. In a large bowl, whisk together bourbon mixture, pumpkin purée, eggs and oil. With a spatula, scrape all the brown butter from the skillet into the pumpkin mixture and stir to combine.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Divide batter between the two greased loaf pans. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow bread to cool completely before removing from pan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread pudding a more robust flavor, but canned pumpkin puree is a convenient option that works just as well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish. This is the standard size for bread pudding, and it will give you a nice, thick pudding.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the pudding time to set and firm up.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Bourbon pumpkin bread pudding is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for fall. With its rich, creamy texture and warm bourbon flavor, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give bourbon pumpkin bread pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
