Recipe Introduction


GourmetGal, I have several bread pudding recipes which I make, but this is probably the one I return to the most often. "MarianSoCa" liked it so well she asked for permission to include it on her own website. This was her comment, "I finally had success with a bread pudding recipe - it's really good. The sauce here would make a delicious filling for cream puffs. Thanks, LuAnn!"

I can vouche that this is TERRIFIC stuff!! Yummm!! This recipe is just the best..the sauce is the 'topper' for it although it is still very tasty without it. It definately isn't for the 'waist-watcher' crowd, but what-the-heck..you gotta live every once in a while! :-) Now I am going to be thinking about this recipe..probably end up making it tomorrow. yumm yumm yummm! :-) Rudy2


List of Ingredients




Pudding:
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups day-old white or French bread -- torn into pieces
Raisins -- optional

Sauce:
3 cups milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 Pinch salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract.


Recipe



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x9-inch pan with no-stick spray; set aside.

2. To make the pudding; In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Stir in the bread and if desired, raisins. Turn mixture into the prepared pan.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until “set” in the center.

4. Meanwhile, to prepare the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and milk. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until the butter is melted.

5. Spoon the warm custard sauce over individual servings of the warm bread pudding.
