Brennans Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce Recipes

BRENNAN'S BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• For The Bread Pudding:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• Scatter the bread in the baking dish.
• Pour the scalded milk over the bread; set aside.
• Mix the eggs with the sugar.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and pour the egg-and-sugar mixture over the bread-and-milk mixture.
• Although it doesn't state to do this with any bread pudding I usually press the bread down with a spatula to help the milk to be absorbed,cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
• Set the baking dish inside a slightly larger pan.
• Pour warm water into the larger pan about halfway up the sides of the bread pudding dish to make a "bain marie".
• Bake the bread pudding for about an hour, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• For the Whiskey sauce:.
• In a medium-size saucepan, heat the milk and the sugar until they almost come to a boil.
• Pour a small amount of the milk and sugar mixture into the egg yolks, whisking all the while.
• Gradually pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
• Blend the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water.
• Add to the saucepan.
• Bring the custard to a boil, whisking constantly for several minutes until it thickens.
• Remove from the heat.
• Stir in vanilla extract and whiskey.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Pour over bread pudding as desired.
• *Cook time does not reflect the refrigeration time*.

BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLE WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square-baking pan.
• To make the bread pudding, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs until smooth, then work in the heavy cream. Add the vanilla, then the bread cubes. Allow the bread to soak up the custard. Scatter the raisins in the greased pan, and top with the egg mixture, which will prevent the raisins from burning. Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the pudding has a golden brown color and is firm to the touch. If a toothpick inserted in the pudding comes out clean, it is done. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Let cool to room temperature.
• To make the sauce, bring the cream to a boil, combine the cornstarch and water, and add the mixture to the boiling cream, stirring constantly. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the mixture. Add the sugar and bourbon, and stir. Let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and butter 6 (6-ounce) ceramic ramekins.
• To make the meringue, be certain that you use a bowl and whisk that are clean and that the egg whites are completely free of yolk. This dish needs a good, stiff meringue, and the eggs whites will whip better if the chill is off them. In a large bowl or mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, and continue whipping until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If the whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, the meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or the whites will break down and the souffle will not work.
• In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Place a portion of this mixture in each of the ramekins.
• Place the remaining bread pudding in a bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in the rest of the meringue. Top off the souffles with this lighter mixture, to about 1 1/2 inches over the top edge of the ramekin. With a spoon, smooth and shape the tops into a dome over the ramekin rim.
• Bake immediately for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each souffle and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the souffle.

• Add raisins.
• Break up bread into 13x9x2 pan and pour the liquid (above) in slowly.

• It will fall in a minute.
• For the Sauce:.
