1 pound French style bread (the firmer the better)
3 1/4 cups milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Tear bread into medium pieces. Add sugar and cinnamon. Mix milk, lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla. Add to bread mix. Place 1/2 mix in casserole. Layer pecans and raisins, if used. Top with the rest of the mix. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Serve warm with Bourbon sauce.
Bourbon Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon (or more!) Bourbon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon white corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a sauce pan mix all ingredients. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Serve warm.
5 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 cups milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. (yes tbsp.) ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
6 cups plain bread crumbs (or more to make
mixture as thick as cooked oatmeal when mixed
with all ingredients)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 mashed or sliced banana (optional)
Mix all ingredients together until bread crumbs are thoroughly wet, and mixture is smooth like thick oatmeal. Place mixture in a WELL greased crockpot. Cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours, or until a knife stuck in middle of the "pudding" comes out fairly clean.
NOTE: For the last 1/2 hour of cooking, lift the lid a "crack" by putting a spoon or fork between it and the pot, to let the excess moisture escape; otherwise you will have a clear liquid all around the bread pudding.
Bread pudding should rise slightly like a cake while cooking, and be smooth on top. It should be fairly solid when done, like a very moist chewy brownie, or perhaps like a dense soufflé.
