Mixed Berry Bread Pudding With Lemon Fondant Tyler Florence Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (about 1-cup size).
• In a mixer, add egg yolks, buttermilk, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and sift in flour, sugar and salt. Continue to mix until combined. Beat egg whites until you get stiff peaks then combine the 2 mixtures by gently folding them together, a little at a time. Divide evenly amongst ramekins then bake in a water bath - set ramekins in a roasting tray and fill with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake for 45 minutes until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice golden brown color. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully invert onto a plate. Serve with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter a large casserole dish, or 8 6-ounce ramekins. Pour in sugar, and rotate dish so all of the buttered surfaces are coated with sugar; knock out any excess sugar.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, lemon zest and sugar, until well combined.
• Roughly tear bread into large pieces with your hands. Add bread to custard and stir to combine. Spread berries evenly over the bottom of the casserole, or divide amongst the prepared ramekins. Pour custard mixture into pan or divide amongst ramekins, and push down to submerge the bread. Sprinkle the top evenly with additional sugar, then refrigerate 10-15 minutes to soak.
• Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes, or until puffy, the custard is set, and the top is golden-brown. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together confectioner's sugar, water, lemon zest and lemon juice, until smooth.
• When slightly cooled, if using individual ramekins, invert each pudding onto a serving plate; otherwise, simply dish a portion onto each plate. Drizzle pudding with lemon fondant. Serve with additional fresh berries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine berries with sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine. Spread berry mixture out on a 10-inch tart or gratin dish. Dollop spoonfuls of scone dough evenly over the top of the fruit; leave a border around the edge of the dish for spreading. Drizzle the surface with melted butter and dust with sugar. Set on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit juices bubbling.
• Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with heavy cream, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.
• In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
• Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a sheet pan put cubed bread. Toast it in the oven until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• In a large saute pan melt the butter and saute the shallots until just wilted. Add the mushrooms and saute until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
• In a large bowl make custard, whisk together the cream with the eggs and season with the salt and pepper.
• Add toasted bread cubes along with the chives, thyme and rosemary to the egg mixture. Stir in the sauteed mushrooms and mix in the grated Parmesan.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, top with more grated Parmesan, to taste.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare eight individual soufflé cups (1-cup capacity) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the berries to distribute evenly. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until well blended. Add the half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and continue beating on low speed until well blended. Fill soufflé cups with bread and berry mixture, mounding it a bit on top. Pour egg mixture over the bread and berries, filling evenly to the rim.
• Place the soufflé cups in large ovenproof baking dish and pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the soufflé cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick placed in the center of the puddings comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. These can be made one day ahead of the shower; simply refrigerate overnight and serve at room temperature. Just before serving, dust each top with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (about 1-cup size).
• In a mixer, add egg yolks, buttermilk, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and sift in flour, sugar and salt. Continue to mix until combined. Beat egg whites until you get stiff peaks then combine the 2 mixtures by gently folding them together, a little at a time. Divide evenly amongst ramekins then bake in a water bath - set ramekins in a roasting tray and fill with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake for 40 - 60 minutes (see Note below) until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice golden brown color. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully invert onto a plate. Serve with fresh berries, dust with powdered sugar top with whip cream.
• Note: If your oven cooks slow/less hot, you will probably need 60 minutes. If not, you will probably only need approx 40 minutes to cook.
