BREAD PUDDING CUPS WITH BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• For the bread pudding cups: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners and spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray. (Alternatively, spray the insides of twelve 2-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs. Add in the pecans, butter and bread and stir to coat. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
• Carefully fill the muffin tins about two-thirds of the way up with the bread pudding mixture. Cook until the puddings set, about 25 minutes.
• For the bourbon sauce: In the meantime, add the cider, bourbon, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice and salt to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce reduces by one-half, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the bread puddings from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. While still warm, use a skewer to poke a few holes into each pudding and pour in a couple of tablespoons of sauce. Serve immediately.

BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
• With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
• Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.

• Pour milk in a large mixing bowl and add the bread that has been cut into 1 inch cubes. Using theh back of a spoon or spatula press the bread into the liquid until all of the milk is absorbed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until nice and frothy. Then whisk in the sugar, vanilla, allspice and cinnamon in with the eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread.
• Add the bourbon soaked raisins and any remaining liquid in the bowl and stir gently to combine.
• Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish by pouring the melted butter into the bottom and swirling the baking dish around until the bottom and sides are greased with the butter.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the liquid has set and the edges of the bread turn golden brown. *see post for alternative cooking methods and times.
• Make the bourbon sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan on low heat. Once the butter is melted add the sugar and egg and whisk. Keeping the oven on LOW heat, continue to cook stirring constantly until the glaze thickens to gravy consistency. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey until the sauce is smooth.
• If serving warm, pour the bourbon glaze on top of the bread pudding once it comes out of the oven or serve the glaze on the size.
• If serving cold, let the bread pudding that has been drizzled with the glaze come to room temperature and then cover and place in the refrigerator. If you want to serve the glaze on the side, cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then reheat and whisk and serve.
