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.
