Savor recipes for Bourbon Bread Pudding and Warm Whiskey Sauce, courtesy of the 352-page "The Book of Bourbon" by Gary Regan and Mardee Haidin Regan (Chapters, 1995, $29.95).
3 to 4 cups milkIn a large, deep bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the milk, eggs, bourbon, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Add bread cubes and mix until coated with liquid. If liquid seems scant, add more milk. Set aside for 30 minutes, until bread is softened and completely saturated.
5 large eggs
2/3 cup bourbon or Tennessee whiskey
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
16 to 20 cups loosely packed 1-inch cubes stale bread (crusts removed if thick or hard)
Warm Whiskey Sauce (recipe follows)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour bread mixture into a buttered 5- to 6-quart heatproof bowl. Leave 1 inch of space at the top so pudding can puff up without spilling over. Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until firm to the touch and a crusty golden on top. Transfer bowl to a wire rack and cool to room temperature. Serve as is or top with Warm Whiskey Sauce. Makes 12 servings.
