Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups milk
2 cups water
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, make it a large 1/3 cup, but not more
1/4 cup margarine, melted
3 -4 cups French bread, cubed
2 eggs
1/8 cup whiskey or 1/8 cup lemon juice or 1/8 cup Amaretto
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup margarine, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the sugar, milk and water in a bowl and mix well. Add the eggs, salt, vanilla, coconut and 1/4 cup melted margarine and mix well. Stir in the bread cubes. Let stand until the liquid is absorbed. Spoon into a 9 x 12 inch baking dish. 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding rises like a souffle and springs back when touched. 3. For the sauce: Combine the eggs and flavoring (whiskey or lemon juice or amaretto, not all!) in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup melted margarine and process until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of breads for different textures and flavors. Stale bread works best, as it will absorb more custard.
  • Soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become soft and custardy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the bread pudding, such as raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit. You can also use spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to add flavor.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. This will also help the bread pudding to cook evenly.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or custard sauce.

Conclusion:

Normas bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy custard, soft and fluffy bread, and endless possibilities for mix-ins, bread pudding is sure to please everyone.
