#2 Recipe Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Tip: Professional chefs recommend using fresh spices rather than dried. You'll need a good spice grater, such as the Microplane Spice Grater
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 c unsalted butter
2 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
5 cup stale french bread cubed
1 apple, chopped
2 eggs
2 cup icing sugar
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1/4 cup whisky

Beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon, and beat until well blended.

In a saucepan, heat the butter and milk until the butter is just melted. Mix together raisins, pecans and bread cubes. Combine the milk and egg mixtures, pour this over the bread and soak for 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease individual ramekins or a large loaf pan. Add the apple to the bread pudding, and spoon mixture into the baking container. Place in oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees F. Bake for 40 minutes then increase heat to 425 degree and bake for 15 minutes, or until browned.

Sauce for Recipe Bread Pudding

Answer 2

I don't know what kind of recipe you have for bread pudding that's "moderately involved" (I love that description... LOL) but it really couldn't be a simpler thing to make than bread pudding. Chunk the bread into pieces (approx 1") Place it in a buttered baking dish (preferably glass or ceramic); Mix together: 2 c milk or half-and-half (or some of each) 4 eggs 1 c sugar 1 tsp cinnamon Pour that over the bread, let it soak for at least 30 minutes, then bake it at 350 for about 40 - 45 minutes. If you like a more custardy consistency, you can use a water bath when you bake it. I do that all the time and it takes a few more minutes to cook. Bon Appetit!
