[Paddlewise] Bread Pudding

Payton,

How could you not have a wonderful bread pudding recipe - it's in your heritage.
Unless you is not a true cajan :)

Actually the following recipe is a Creole on so maybe you're off the hook.

2 eggs
2cups milk
1TBl vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisons
6 ounces stale French bread (about 1/2 standard 32" loaf)
Mix everything but the bread.  Break the bread in to small pieces and add to the mix.
Let soak a few minutes.  Butter a loaf pan of baking dish and pour the mix in. Bake at
350 degrees for 11/4 hours - until knife inserted into center comes out clean.

Make whiskey sauce:

1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey

Melt butter and sugar together in a saucepan.  Remove from heat and add the bourbon.

Spoon hot bread pudding onto desert plates and spoon over some whiskey sauce.  Serves
6-8. This can be frozen and reheated.

Variations:  Add fruit cocktail to pudding before baking.  Add pecans.  Use rum for the
sauce.

Enjoy.  If you are a competition - you might want to please the judges with a little
more bourbon.  :)   This should be easy to do in a Dutch oven as well.
