New Orleans Bread Pudding
2 cups stale white bread, cubed, packed into measuring cup (4 ounces)
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark or golden raisins
1 medium tart apple, pared, cored and diced
2 tablespoons butter, melted
For Whiskey Sauce:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 to 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
Combine the bread with the milk in a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs with the
sugar and vanilla. Blend into the bread mixture along with the raisins and
apples. Pour the melted butter into a 1 quart casserole or soufflé dish.
Turn bread mixture into the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes,
or until the pudding is set. Serve warm or chilled with the whiskey sauce.
To prepare the sauce, cream the butter and sugar in a metal bowl. Place over
boiling water. Add the egg. Whisk rapidly until sauce is frothy and slightly
thickened. Remove from heat. Whisk in the whiskey to taste.
Tips:
You may substitute brandy, rum, or a fruit flavored liqueur, or 1 tablespoon
vanilla for the whiskey in the sauce, for a different flavor.
