Southern Style Christmas Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce Recipes

BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish; set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Arrange bread on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake until dry, about 14 minutes. Cool completely.
• Transfer bread cubes to the prepared baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Pour over the bread cubes; gently toss to combine.
• Use a spatula to gently press down the bread so that it's mostly covered and saturated. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cover; bake until puffed and golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes.
• Let stand 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with bourbon sauce, vanilla ice cream, and/or whipped cream.

Steps:

• 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, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. 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. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
• Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the 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 the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.
