HOW TO MAKE BREAD PUDDING

Break bread into medium pieces, or roughly 1 inch (2 ½ cm) cubes. Add the pecans and toss with the melted butter. Arrange in a buttered 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33 cm) baking dish .

In a bowl, blend the eggs, salt, and sugar lightly with wire whip. Add the vanilla extract and milk. Blend and strain. Pour over the bread and nuts in pan.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) in a pan of boiling water (filled about 1/2 way up the sides) for 30 to 40 minutes. Test with a knife.

Allow time to cool and let the custard set up.

WHISKEY SAUCE

Melt the butter. Whip in sifted powdered sugar. Fold in eggs and whisk constantly over low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to allow the eggs to heat up and scramble! Whisk in the whiskey.

HOW TO SERVE BREAD PUDDING

Scoop out portions onto serving plates. Serve the whiskey sauce for bread pudding warm at tableside, dividing sauce evenly over each serving.

My wife absolutely loves this bread pudding. She said it is “to die for”! I find it particularly useful when extra points need to be earned ;-)

Mine didn’t look like from the picture. I already baked it for 60 minutes and still it looks wet. I followed where I need to bake it in a big pan with water.
