HEAVENLY LEMON BREAD PUDDING
This bread pudding is similar to a souffle. It will, in fact, "fall" somewhat as it cools, but you won't be disappointed with its creamy tartness. This recipe is from Texas Cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Butter the bottom only of a 2-quart casserole or soufflé dish.
- Combine bread cubes and lemon zest in large bowl.
- Set aside.
- Combine whipping cream, milk, sugar, butter and salt in a heavy saucepan.
- Over medium heat, cook until butter melts, stirring occasionally.
- Pour over bread mixture, and toss.
- Allow to cool.
- Lightly beat the egg yolks, then beat in the lemon juice, and stir into the bread mixture.
- Set aside.
- Beat egg whites in large bowl of electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Do not overbeat.
- Gently fold egg whites into bread mixture.
- Pour bread mixture into prepared dish, and bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean.
- The top of the pudding should be golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Dust with confectioner's sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
- NOTE:*If your bread is less than a day old, you can"age" it by placing slices in a 300°F oven for 15 or 20 minutes, or until some of the moisture is baked out.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your bread pudding a brighter, more citrusy flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, use twice the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the bread pudding too thick and it will take longer to cook.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
- Let the bread pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the bread pudding to set.
Conclusion:
Lemon bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give lemon bread pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
