Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Milk | 1 cup |
| Eggs | 1 |
| Sugar | 3 cups |

| Raisins | 2 cups |
| Margarine | 1 tablespoon |
| Butter | 3 tablespoons |
| Egg | 1 |
| Bourbon (Whiskey) | 1/2 – 1 cup |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your bread pudding cooks evenly and thoroughly.
-
Soak bread: In a large mixing bowl, soak the bread in milk until it becomes soft and absorbs the liquid. This step is crucial for achieving a moist and tender bread pudding texture.
-
Prepare mixture: To the soaked bread, add eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and raisins. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a flavorful and aromatic base for your bread pudding.
-
Prepare baking pan: Pour margarine into the bottom of a heavy 9×14 baking pan, ensuring that it is evenly coated. This prevents the bread pudding from sticking to the pan while baking.
-
Bake: Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and golden brown on top.
-
Cool and cube: Once baked, allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before cutting it into cubes. This step helps the pudding set and makes it easier to serve.
-
Serve: Arrange the cubed bread pudding in individual dessert dishes, ready to be enjoyed by your eager guests.
-
Prepare Whiskey Sauce: In a separate saucepan, cream together sugar and margarine. Cook over low heat in a double boiler until the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved, creating a smooth and velvety base for your sauce.
-
Incorporate egg: Once the sugar mixture is heated, add the beaten egg to the saucepan. Whip the mixture quickly and vigorously to prevent the egg from curdling, creating a silky-smooth texture for your sauce.
-
Add Whiskey: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, gently stir in the bourbon (whiskey), infusing the sauce with its rich and distinct flavor.
-
Serve with bread pudding: When ready to serve, generously pour the warm Whiskey Sauce over the cubed bread pudding, allowing it to seep into every delicious bite.
-
Broil: For an extra touch of decadence, place the dessert dishes under the broiler for a few minutes until the sauce is warm and bubbly, creating a caramelized finish that adds depth to the flavors.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce immediately, savoring each spoonful of this irresistible dessert that perfectly balances sweetness with a hint of boozy warmth.
