Yields10 Servings

Ingredients

BREAD PUDDING
 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch squares (about 6-7 cups)
 1 qt whole milk
 3 eggs, lightly beaten + whites
 2 cups sugar
 2 tbsp vanilla…I add a bit more
 1 cup raisins (soaked overnight in 1/4 cup bourbon); soaking is not required
 1 cup coconut
 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
 ½ tsp cinnamon
 ½ tsp nutmeg
 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
BOURBON SAUCE
 ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
 1 cup sugar
 1 egg
 1 cup Kentucky Bourbon whiskey

Directions

BREAD PUDDING
1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

2

Soak the bread in milk in a large mixing bowl. Crush with hands until well mixed and all the milk is absorbed. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices together. Gently stir into the bread mixture. Gently stir the raisins into the mixture.

3

Pour butter into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Coat the bottom and the sides of the pan well with the butter. Pour in the bread mix and bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, until set. The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Can also make in individual ramekins.

4

Serve with bourbon whiskey sauce on the side; pour on to taste. Best fresh and eaten the day it is made.

BOURBON SAUCE
5

In a saucepan, melt butter; add sugar and egg, whisking to blend well. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.

6

Whisk in bourbon to taste. Remove from heat and let cool. Whisk before serving. The sauce should be soft, creamy, and smooth.
I always think it need a lot more bourbon…just like salt too…if you spill some drink a shot!
