Mimis Cafe Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Bread Pudding Fill a 9"x 9"x 2-½" baking pan with the bread cubes and sprinkle the raisins on top. (Use enough bread to come to the top of the pan. You might not use the whole loaf). Whisk the remaining ingredients together to make a batter, pour over the top of the bread and stir lightly. Allow the bread to soak ½ hour. The pan will be very full. If you have too much batter, discard the excess. If there's not enough, add a little more milk to the pan. Bake in a 325° oven for about 40 minutes, until the pudding is golden brown and puffed up around the edges. The center should be "set" but still a little soft. You can make this ahead of time and heat it in the microwave oven later. Whiskey Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and stir well. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then quickly whisk in the beaten eggs and whiskey. Put the sauce back on the stove over low heat and whisk constantly until the sauce has thickened slightly. (If it's overcooked, the sauce will curdle). Keep the sauce warm until serving. If you like, you can serve the bread pudding with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a scoop of your favorite ice cream. NOTE: This sauce contains egg yolks, which can carry salmonella bacteria if not fully cooked. As with other foods like beef tartar, Caesar salad, or eggs cooked "sunny side up," caution is advised when eating raw or lightly cooked eggs

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°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 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°F, and butter six 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 egg 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 soufflé 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 the bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in the rest of the meringue.
• Top off the soufflés 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 soufflé and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the soufflé.
• Note: New Orleans French bread is very light and tender.
• Outside New Orleans, use only a light bread.
• If the bread is too dense, the recipe won't work.
• Italian bread is suggested as the most comparable.
