Ingredients
- For the pudding:
- 2 1/2 cups bread, sourdough or French, cubed and lightly toasted
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 7/8 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 1/3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- salt, to taste
- For the cream sauce:
- 1/4 pound brown sugar
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 cup whiskey
- salt, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Lightly grease a deep dish casserole pan.
Step 3 -Mix the toasted bread cubes and raisins together.
Step 4 -Place the bread mixture in the casserole pan and set it aside for later.
Step 5 -In a pan over medium heat, combine the milk and butter.
Step 6 -In a medium-size mixing bowl whisk the sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
Step 7 -Slowly, a little bit at a time, add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking the egg mixture constantly to prevent it from scrambling.
Step 8 -Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 9 -Add the tempered egg mixture to the rest of the hot milk mixture, and whisk to combine into a custard.
Step 10 -Pour the custard mixture over the bread mixture in the casserole pan.
Step 11 -Place the casserole dish into a deeper pan with 1 inch of water in it. This will create a steam bath that helps the texture while cooking.
Step 12 -Cover the deeper pan and casserole dish with a single layer of foil.
Step 13 -Bake for 1 hour.
Step 14 -Remove the foil and bake until browned, about 15 minutes.
Step 15 -Combine the brown sugar, salted butter, heavy whipping cream, whiskey, and salt into a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 16 -Heat to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 17 -Simmer and reduce the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 18 -Pour the cream sauce over the pudding and serve warm.
