Old Fashioned Southern Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Spread half of the bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining bread. Sprinkle with more cinnamon and nutmeg and drizzle with melted butter.
• Combine half-and-half, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed and pour over bread. Press down on the bread with a fork to make sure it is saturated with the custard.
• Place the baking dish in a large pan of boiling water and bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, about 1 hour.

• Place the baking pan into a larger pan; fill the larger pan with water halfway up the sides of the smaller pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes.

• Remove bread pudding from the oven. Poke holes throughout using a butter knife. Pour butter sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the milk and half and half. Tear the French bread into small pieces and put into a large container for soaking. Pour the milk mixture all over the top. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Stir.
• 2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until well blended. Add the raisins. Pour over the bread and gently mix. Put the melted butter into a 9 x 9 inch baking dish and coat the dish all along the sides and bottom. Spoon the bread pudding mixture into the dish.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until bubbly on the sides, golden brown and set in the middle. Let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Drizzle each serving with Whiskey Sauce.
• 4. WHISKEY SAUCE: 1 stick of unsalted butter, 1/4 c. of suguare, 1/2 c. of milk, 1 tbsp of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of rum or rum flavoring or to taste (can omit).

• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes; cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let the pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
• For vanilla sauce, whisk 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, the flour, a pinch of cinnamon, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 1/4 cups of whole milk,and salt together in a heavy saucepan until smooth. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
