Butterscotch Bread Pudding In A Double Boiler Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the crusts from the bread and spread slices with the butter.
• Cut the buttered bread into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Butter the upper part of a 1 quart double boiler.
• Spread the brown sugar into it and place the bread cubes on top.
• In a medium sized bowl beat together the eggs, milk, salt and vanilla with a rotary beater.
• Pour over the bread cubes and DO NOT STIR.
• Place over boiling water in the bottom of the double boiler and cook COVERED for 1 hour or until a sliver knife comes out clean.
• If necessary add additional hot water to the base during cooking.
• As the pudding cooks it will separate into a custard portion on top and the sauce on the bottom.
• Spoon some of the sauce over the pudding and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine bread, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and butterscotch chips; mixture should be the consistency of oatmeal. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven 1 hour, until nearly set. (It should have a "thigh wiggle" or wiggle as much as a well endowed thigh.) Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat cream over moderately low heat until warm. While cream is heating, in a 3-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat and stir in brown sugar. Cook sugar mixture, stirring occasionally, until mixture is bubbling all over and appears smooth, about 5 minutes. Carefully add warm cream (mixture will bubble and steam) and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar mixture is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat.
• In a large metal bowl or top of a double boiler whisk together milk, yolks, cornstarch, and salt. Add warm butterscotch mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, and set bowl or top of double boiler over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook pudding, whisking constantly, 10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Cover bowl or top of double boiler and cook pudding, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes more.
• Remove bowl or top of double boiler from pan and cool pudding 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Divide hot pudding among six 1-cup ramekins or other heatproof dishes. Chill puddings, covered (if you don't want skins to form) or uncovered (if you do want skins to form), until cold, at least 3 hours, and up to 2 days. Serve puddings topped with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Put egg yolks, cornstarch and salt into a large heatproof bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
• In a medium pot over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter, whisking, until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like hot caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away, or the mixture may burn.)
• Immediately pour the milk and cream into the pot. (It will bubble fiercely and seize up.) Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the clumps melt, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking yolks until smooth, then whisk in the remaining hot cream mixture. Pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
• Cook pudding, whisking constantly especially around the bottom and edges of the pot, until it comes to a full boil. (Don't worry about the eggs curdling. You're going to strain the mixture later.) Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring the mixture constantly, until it thickens enough to mound thickly on the spoon, 4 to 7 minutes. If at any point the pudding looks curdled, whisk to help smooth it out.
• Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof container or bowl, then stir in the Scotch or bourbon, if using, and vanilla. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding. (If you like the skin, don't cover pudding until it cools.) Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• When serving, spoon pudding into dishes. Top with dollops of whipped cream, sour cream or crème fraîche, and any of the optional garnishes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together butterscotch topping, eggs and evaporated milk. Place half of bread cubes in bottom of baking dish. Cover with raisins. Pour half of topping mixture over raisins, and then layer remaining bread cubes and rest of topping over that. Press bread down to soak up butterscotch mixture. Let stand 20 minutes.
• Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, until heated through and set. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Coat a 2-quart double boiler (or saucepan) with the butter (2 tablespoons). Pat the brown sugar over the butter.
• Arrange 1/3 of the bread cubes in a single layer on top of the sugar. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the raisins. Repeat with the layering with the remaining bread and raisins.
• In a small bowl beat together the eggs and half and half, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture over the bread/raisins.
• Cover pan and set over boiling water. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until set, you will probably need to add boiling water at least once.
• Remove from heat and remove top pan from the boiling water. Let cool for 10 minutes or so and then invert onto a serving platter. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Steps:

• Place bread, pecans and butterscotch chips in a greased 4-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla until blended. Pour over bread mixture; stir gently to combine., Cook, covered, on low until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 3-4 hours. Serve warm with whipped cream and butterscotch topping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
