I never had Bread Pudding growing up and the concept seemed so strange to me. Our mom used to make milk toast for us when we were sick, so I thought it would taste like that - bland and slightly sweet. Since it's one of my husband's favorite desserts, I wanted to make it for him. Well, I was completely wrong - it's not at all like milk toast, but full of rich custard scented with Bourbon, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

We served this with warmed Caramel Brandy Sauce from Anette's Chocolates by Brent which is divine! And now it's one of my favorites, too.
Enjoy!








Oh, I love bread pudding...and like you, I know Dorie's versions are fabulous! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThis looks gorgeous! I might have to get Dorie's baking book and go deeper into my cookbook addiction. I grew up eating bread puddings and while I lived in New Orleans I got to see how sophisticated and delicious it could really be.
ReplyDeleteAdriana - How funny! That's where my husband grew up - it must be a southern thing. I know what you mean about having a cookbook addiction! I told my husband that at least he benefits from it, too.
