Bread Pudding Recipe
This Bread Pudding recipe is based on the bread pudding which was served to me in the Bon Ton Café in downtown New Orleans last time I visited that wonderful city. Their bread pudding was absolutely delicious – raisins, and French bread cooked in a Bourbon laced custard style sauce – what is not to love?
This recipe requires soaked raisins so make sure you get those ready before you start baking. The raisins need a minimum of one hour soaking time, but you can prep them up to two days in advance. Combine the raisins with soaked bread mixed with a custard style egg mixture and bake in the oven. As the pudding cooks, make a sauce from butter, sugar, egg and yet more bourbon!
To make Bread Pudding, you will need the following ingredients:
