SOUTHERN BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Southern Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce image

True comfort food for any Southerner. This recipe is the closest I have come to my Maw-Maw's recipe. From FoodTV.com.

Provided by Malriah

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup butter, not margarine
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Bourbon, to taste

Steps:

  • --pudding--.
  • 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 and butter.
  • 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.
  • Allow to cool.
  • --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 over slightly cooled bread pudding.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for fresh bread, creamy butter, sweet sugar, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread pudding.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the bread pudding. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pudding cooks evenly.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite sauce. Bourbon sauce, vanilla sauce, or caramel sauce are all delicious options.

Southern bread pudding is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
