French Bread Pudding With Jack Daniels Sauce Recipes

FRENCH BREAD PUDDING WITH JACK DANIELS SAUCE

Steps:

• Crumble the bread into a bowl. Pour the milk over it and let stand for one to two hours. I've found that the longer it soaks in the milk, the better the end result. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• In another bowl, beat together 3 eggs, the granulated sugar and the vanilla. Microwave the dried fruit with the 1/4 cup of Jack Daniels for one to two minutes on high, or until plumped. Drain Jack Daniels and reserve for another use, then cool fruit for a few minutes and stir in to the egg mixture, then stir the egg mixture into the bread and milk, taking care not to break up the soaked bread.
• Pour into the prepared baking dish, place on the middle rack of the oven, and bake until browned and set, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• To make sauce, stir 8 tablespoons butter and confectioners' sugar together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until sugar is dissolved and mixture is very hot. Remove from the heat. Beat the remaining egg well and whisk it into the sugar mixture. Remove pan from base and continue beating until sauce has cooled to room temperature. Add Jack Daniels to taste (we like it pretty strong!).
• To serve, preheat broiler. Cut pudding into squares and transfer each square to a heatproof serving dish. Spoon whiskey sauce over pudding and run under broiler until bubbling. Or, alternatively, you can just serve the pudding warm with the sauce spooned over. Be careful if rewarming the sauce in the microwave as you can 'scramble' the egg and the sauce turns an unappetizing grayish color and it thickens - while it still tastes great, its not very pretty.

JACK DANIELS BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Pudding:.
• Lightly grease deep dish casserole pans.
• Fill with toasted bread cubes and raisins mixed together.
• Heat milk and butter in pan over medium heat.
• Whisk sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add 1 cup of the heated milk mixture to this, then mix this into the hot milk mixture. Pour over the bread and raisins. Put your casserole dish (I use two 9x13 inch casseroles and bake one at a time) with the pudding into a deeper pan that has at least an inch of water in it, and cover with foil.
• Bake at 350°F for one hour. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Pour cream sauce over the pudding and keep warm in oven until time to serve.
• Cream Sauce (I make this while the pudding is cooking):.
• Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Turn heat down to low and allow to reduce to consistency of your liking.
• I double the sauce recipe so I can have some to pour over the pudding and ice cream when I serve it.
• Serve hot with either ice cream and extra sauce or with heavy cream drizzled over it.
