Old Fashioned Bread Pudding With Brandy Hard Sauce Recipe 55

OLD FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F. Adjust rack to the middle of the bottom half of oven.
• Butter an 8 x 8 baking dish. Distribute bread chunks evenly in the dish and sprinkle cherries evenly throughout the bread. Add Mix all ingredients after bread. Once completely incorporated, pour mixture over the bread & cherries.
• Cover dish and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Mix ingredients for topping and sprinkle over the top of the custard, pressing down slightly.
• Bake at 325F for 40-50 minutes or until custard is set. The top will brown and it will only jiggle slightly in the very center.
• Cream the butter until it is very soft. Add the sugar gradually, then the salt and beat these ingredients until they have a smooth, soft consistency. I could not get my sugar to the desired consistency, so I used the back of a wooden spoon to press the butter and sugar together until they were smooth and soft. Beat in the brandy (and egg) and chill the sauce thoroughly.
• I used 2 tablespoons of brandy, which had a definite alcohol flavor. Every recipe I read said to chill "Hard Sauce" and serve it cold, but I found it unpleasant to eat chilled, so I warmed it up and drizzled it over the pudding. Much better.
