My poppakins, he lurves the bread pudding. I lurves to experiment in the kitchen. I had a half loaf of challah and a desire to be nice to the daddoo, so it was time to embark upon an adventure. Paula Dean would have spit it out with a patoo, not enough butter or sugar. I thought it was PERFECT. Both the pudding and the sauce were combinations of various recipes I found online.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350F.<\/p>\n
Rip leftover bread into small pieces, it should be enough bread to fill an 8×8 dish.<\/p>\n
In a saucepan over medium low heat, warm 2 cups of whole milk (with a little cream mixed in, I ran out of milk) with a half stick of salted butter. Just warm it until the butter melts.<\/p>\n
In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 1\/2 cup of white sugar. Slowly temper in the milk\/butter mixture. Then stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the bread and mix it together. Then let it sit for 5 minutes to soak in. Stir it again and smooth it off. Place this pan into a larger one and fill halfway with hotwater. Bake for 45-50 minutes. It shouldn’t be too dry, but shouldn’t be jiggly either. My oven runs a bit slow, you might want to cut the time a bit.<\/p>\n
When the pudding comes out of the oven, start the sauce. Over medium heat, melt 2 T butter and stir in 1\/4 cup dark brown sugar and 1\/4 cup light corn syrup. Let it boil for 1 minute then stir in 1\/4 cup bourbon. Most folks will tell you to remove it from the heat before putting in the bourbon, but I never do and thusfar have not set myself on fire. Let’s just say “do as I say, not as I do” like my mama would. Let it bubble for a minute or so, and remove from heat. Dish up the pudding and drizzle the sauce over the top. How much is up to you. <\/p>\n
Way tasty – and this probably made 8 big servings. Or 4 for Dad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
