Bread Pudding (Tender) N Sauce (Vanilla or Spirited) image

This is a tender, delicate, delicious bread pudding. For me to say that is quite a compliment, as I usually avoid bread pudding. Jean Dunlap, at our church, made it for a ministry fair and it was sooooo good. The only change I offer is the possibility of replacing about 1/4 cup of milk for 1/4 cup of spirits (rum, whiskey or amaretto, etc.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 9x11 Pan

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 loaf pepperidge farm original white bread (It makes for a firmer pudding, however I have used old stale hard rolls and it works well)
3 handfulls raisins (optional)
4 -6 cups whole milk
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
salt
cinnamon
nutmeg

Steps:

  • Can make the sauce the night or day before you make the pudding.
  • Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the milk until silky smooth.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan.
  • Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until starting to thicken.
  • If the sauce does not thicken, add another small amount of cornstarch/milk and continue to cook. Do not cook til too thick as it will thicken more when cooled.
  • Pour into a small pitcher and cool in fridge.
  • Stir before serving to remove top skin or put saran wrap on top of sauce to lift skin.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • For the pudding, break the bread into small pieces. Leave that crust on!
  • Sprinkle raisins over bread, if you are using them.
  • Beat remaining ingredients together.
  • Taste and adjust sugar and vanilla, if needed.
  • Sprinkle top with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Bake 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean -- ie milk and egg mix is done.
  • Serve warm with sauce.
