Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• 5. Cognac or Rum topping: (Omit alcohol if serving to children) Use 1/2 cup of syrup (more or less, it's up to you) & 1/4 cup of cognac or rum (more or less, it's up to you). Mix together.
• 6. Using a knife, deeply pierce the hot bread pudding (right out of the oven) all over.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a 9x9 cake pan, or a 9" round pan, or a loaf pan. If you're using whole waffles put the first layer in the pan. For torn up waffles, toss them into the pan and try to somewhat level them out.
• In a bowl, whisk the lukewarm milk, butter, eggs, first amount of sugar and vanilla together until eggs are fully incorporated. Pour over the waffles - if you're using torn up waffles, give the whole thing a good stir. For whole waffles, pour some of the mixture over the first layer, then alternate layers of waffles and egg mix until it's all used up. Sprinkle the top of the waffle mixture with the second amount of brown sugar, then glob some jam or jelly randomly around the top.
• Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is set and the top is starting to brown. Serve either hot or cold.

Steps:

• Fill a large pan with a few centimetres of water and set over a medium heat. Set a large heatproof bowl over the pan - it should sit on top without touching the water. Break the chocolate into the bowl, then tip in the cream, milk, butter, caster sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Reduce the heat to low, and stir the mixture until everything has melted together and is glossy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• Spread the caramel over the base of a baking dish (ours was 30 x 22cm), then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Cut the waffles in half diagonally, then arrange over the caramel in overlapping rows.
• Pour the egg yolks into the warm chocolate mixture, mixing well as you do until all of the egg is fully incorporated. Carefully pour the chocolate custard over the waffles, ensuring they're fully covered. Leave to soak for at least 1 hr, or cover and chill overnight.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and uncover the dish if it has been chilled. Bake the pudding for 30 mins until the custard is set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then dust lightly with icing sugar, if you like, and scoop into bowls to serve.

Steps:

• To make the waffles, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, butter and vanilla until well incorporated. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Stir until just combined.
• Preheat a waffle iron, grease with cooking spray and pour in about 1/3 cup of batter into each cavity. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked waffles onto a wire rack and continue cooking the waffles until the batter is all used up. Allow the waffles to air dry at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the chopped chocolate with the sugar, cocoa, and ¾ cup of half and half in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until The chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and has thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and whisk in the remaining half and half. Whisk in the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract.
• Tear up the waffles and toss together with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped chocolate, cranberries and pistachios. Pour out into a greased 10-inch square baking dish. Pour the chocolate mixture over the top of the waffle cubes and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until the custard has been absorbed into the waffles.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Bake the pudding until puffed up and set, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes to allow the custard to fully set before serving. Slice and serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Cooking Note: You can use 2 (13.8oz) packages frozen Belgian Waffles, instead of making homemade waffles, if you'd prefer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
• Spread waffle pieces in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Beat milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until well-blended. Pour over waffles in the baking dish, making sure to cover them evenly. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and edges start to brown and pull away from the sides, 20 to 25 minutes.
