Bread Pudding

Method

Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine Liquid Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Pour the liquid mixture over the bread pieces and gently fold in the raisins or currants. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the pudding is set.

Bourbon Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Bourbon

    Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon and vanilla extract.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled with the bourbon sauce.
