Bread pudding

Who makes this? I make this almost every other week as soon as we have left over bread that needs using up.

1)Break up about half a large loaf of stale bread, wet it with water and leave to soak until it totally breaks up and can be stirred.
2) Add a good handful of dried fruit, one beaten egg and two table spoons of brown sugar.
3) Put two tablespoons of butter in a cup, melt in microwave and stir in with bread mixture.
4) Stir in a generous amount of mixed spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice etc
5) bake for around 40mins to 1 hour about 160'c until fully set and the top is brown chewy. Drizzle some jam, syrup or honey over and sprinkle with sugar.

MasterDvdC · 61-69, M
@Patientlywaiting The recipe I have calls for bourbon but, if I remember correctly, I used a good Jamaican Rum the last time.

@MasterDvdC for a bread pudding like the one I shared above. I'm not understanding what the hard sauce is. Is it like brandy sauce you have with Christmas pudding?

@Patientlywaiting Not sure what you are referring to. It's probably something you do in Great Britain that we in the US don't. Regardless it is a sauce made with Rum or Whiskey that is drizzled over the Bread Pudding.

@MasterDvdC I think I know what you mean, here it's usually only eaten at Christmas and made with brandy or rum.

@Patientlywaiting It's eaten any time in New Orleans
