Patty Mae's Bread Pudding

"This bread pudding got rave reviews when I served it at a dinner party. Prep time does not include waiting time for bread to absorb milk. Serve it topped with Bourbon-Butter Sauce or hard sauce or whipped cream or ice cream. The recipe for Bourbon-Butter Sauce is posted under my recipes."

directions

  • Butter a 3-quart baking dish.
  • Slice crusts off bread and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Place about half of the bread cubes in the dish and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the dates. Add enough of the remaining bread to come within an inch of the top of the baking dish. Sprinkle with the other 1/2 cup of dates; set aside.
  • Break eggs into a blender and blend on low until well beaten.
  • Add melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla; blend on low until well mixed.
  • Add about half the milk and blend again until well mixed.
  • Stir in the remainder of the milk.
  • Pour over bread cubes, pushing down bread to make sure it is completely covered with milk-egg mixture.
  • Let sit at least 30 minutes before baking, or cover tightly and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • Sprinkle almonds over the top of the pudding.
  • Place baking dish in a larger baking pan and place in a preheated 350ºF oven.
  • Pour hot water into the outer pan so it covers 1/3 of the baking dish.
  • Bake for about 1 hour or until a clean knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven. Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a software engineer living in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm originally from the South (north Florida), so I was raised on good old Southern cooking. I started cooking when I was 7 and have always loved to experiment and put my own twist on the dishes I make. While traveling and living in different places I've discovered a number of wonderful cuisines - Cuban, Thai, Greek, Indonesian, Indian, et al. I have a few dishes from each cuisine that I do really well. I love to experiment with recipes. One of my favorite things to do is figure out how a dish I like is made. If I have something at a restaurant that I really like I'll experiment at home until I come up with a creditable equivalent. It's great to be a member of this community. Where else could you find recipes from people living in every corner of the world? I love it! All of the recipes I've posted here are original unless stated otherwise in the description.
