Bread Pudding Recipes (2)Don't throw out your stale bread. Turn it into this custardy dessert that is bread pudding. One of my favourite things to do is collect little pieces from different loaves of bread (French, Italian) to give it some real texture and flavour excitement. :)

  8. When it's ready, bring some of the raisins to the surface so it looks pretty when done. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.

Hi Brenda,
The bread pudding I make is VERY simple, although many variations can be added.
6-8 slices bread, buttered. (I prefer butter-better flavour)
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons sultanas
3 eggs
750mls -1litre milk (depending on amount of bread).
Cut bread into quarters, put one layer on bottom of dish. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon of sultanas over layer. Repeat with remainding bread, sugar, sultanas.
Beat the eggs - (I just use two forks and whip them a bit) and add to milk.
Pour milk/egg over bread.
I leave the dish stand for a couple of hours (this seems to help in preventing pudding from sinking after cooking) and then bake in a slow oven (about 160 degrees for about 50 mins - 1 hour.
It is cooked when the top is reasonably firm and brown. (Same as a cake)
Variations are endless:
choc chips sprinkled between layers or drinking chocolate
put jam on buttered bread before layering
apple and cinnamon between layers
My husband and sons actually prefer the simplest version (as above) served with whipped cream, and my husband loves it cold.
Regards,
Maree

This is the recipe I use and everyone who has it says it is the best they ever had. I got this from an old friend who passed away many years ago.

Shirleys Bread Pudding-Whiskey Sauce

1 1/2 quarts milk or half-n-half 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla 15 eggs, slightly beaten
1 stick butter 1 cup golden raisins
1 cup chopped toasted pecans Cinnamon to taste
10-12 slices sour dough bread, cut into small squares

Butter a 9X13 pan Mix bread, raisins, nuts and cinnamon and put in pan. Blend sugar, vanilla, butter, milk and eggs in large pan and cook on low until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Pour over bread. Let sit for about 1 hour for milk to soak in or cover and put in refrigerator over night. Bake at 325 for about 11/2-2 hours or until knife inserted comes out clean. Serve warm with hot whiskey sauce.

Whiskey Sauce

2 cup sugar 3/4 cup water
1 stick butter 2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup cold water 2 Tbs. cornstarch
3/4 cup whiskey

Cook first sugar, butter and 3/4 cup water until butter is melted and sugar dissolved. Thicken with cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water. Remove from heat, add vanilla and whiskey. This will not be thick-just a little more than if you didnt use the cornstarch and gives it a little body.

I make a delicious and EXTREMLY easy bread pudding. I tear up bread till 2/3's of a 3 qt cassarole dish is filled. I then put 1 Tblsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp each of cloves and nutmeg on the bread. Then I beat 4 eggs, a quart of milk, 1 Tblsp vanilla (pure is best) and pour that over the bread. I chop up 1/4 cup butter and mix that in. I let all this set for about 15 to 20 min so the bread will soak the mixture in. Then I bake it @350 degrees for about 45 min. It is done when a knife inserted mear the middle is clean. Great hot or cold.

You may want to fix it with a few raisins, as they will flavor the bread pudding, and just pick them out when you eat it. Sometimes you just have to use some ingredients or the dish will not taste the same. I love bread pudding with vanilla sauce!

Hello Gabrielle,

It's been years since I've had bread & butter pudding myself but I found this recipe through google.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Butter the sides and bottom of a deep pudding dish; butter thin slices of bread and put in the dish. Sprinkle thickly with sugar, add a little cinnamon, chopped apple or any kind of preserves between each slice until dish is full. Beat 2 eggs and add a tablespoon of sifted flour; stir 3 cups of milk and a little salt; pour it over the bread and let stand 1 hour. Bake slowly with cover on, &frac; of an hour. Remove cover and let it brown.

I might try it myself.

I have been looking for years for a recipe my grandma made. She started with a can of biscuits in a casserole dish, she added a mixture of egg, milk, sugar, and I don't know what else. We had it for breakfast. It sounds like some type of bread pudding, but I can't replicate the taste even close. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Your help would be appreciated. Since my mother passed, there's no one who knows the recipe.

FAQs

Why is my bread pudding so watery? ›

Only Cover The Bread Pudding In Oven For Some Of The Time

If you take it out too soon, you'll be left with a mushy and wet middle that hasn't been given the time it needs in the oven to set, but with a super crispy top -- not ideal, to say the least.

How do you know when bread pudding is set? ›

Bake about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Another way to judge whether the pudding is fully baked, is to gently press down on the center of the pudding. If any custard comes up to the top, the pudding needs to be baked a little longer.

Why did my bread pudding turn out eggy? ›

Bread pudding custard is best at a ratio of about 1 egg per 1 cup of liquid. Whatever the liquid is (see below for a note about that in the flavoring section), use one egg for every cup. This will give you a custard that is not too eggy.

What does bread pudding contain? ›

Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert popular in many countries' cuisines. It is made with stale bread and milk or cream, generally containing eggs, a form of fat such as oil, butter or suet and, depending on whether the pudding is sweet or savory, a variety of other ingredients.

What is the best thickener for pudding? ›

While cornstarch is the key to making a nice, thick pudding, many old-fashioned pudding recipes actually used to call for flour. So, all-purpose flour is a good alternative to try. Use 2 tablespoons flour for every 1 tablespoon cornstarch in your pudding recipe.

How do you fix pudding that didn't thicken? ›

Your best bet would be to mix a tablespoon of cornstarch and a teaspoon of sugar with some of the beverage and add it to the warm pudding. Heat it to a bubble and stir until it thickens. You may have to adjust the seasoning, particularly vanilla.

What causes pudding not to set? ›

There is an enzyme in raw egg yolks that digests starches. A few minutes of boiling is required to deactivate those enzymes. If your pudding didn't gel, and some time has passed, your eggs may have eaten your cornstarch.

Is it OK to leave bread pudding out overnight? ›

Can bread pudding sit out overnight? Do not let your bread pudding sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours after it has been baked. You should make sure you eat it within 4 days.

How many hours does it take for pudding to set? ›

Set the bowl, uncovered, in the refrigerator. After 15 minutes, cover the pudding with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed against the surface and refrigerate until fully thickened, about 2 hours. To serve: Whip the thickened pudding with a hand or stand mixer for a full minute to restore its creamy texture.

Should bread pudding be wet in the middle? ›

One major problem that you may have come across is bread pudding that is just too wet. A good bread pudding needs to be moist -- it is made from custard, after all -- but it should not be anywhere close to runny.

Is bread pudding supposed to be wet in the middle? ›

A good bread pudding needs to be moist with a custardy-like texture, but it should not be anywhere close to runny.

Should bread pudding be refrigerated? ›

Bread pudding is best served warm, shortly after it comes out of the oven. But, with that said, leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to three days. Heat it through in the oven so the center is warm and the top is crisp before serving.

What is a substitute for suet in bread pudding? ›

If you can't find suet then we have found that grated vegetable shortening (such as Trex, Crisco or Copha) is a good substitute. To grate the shortening firstly freeze a stick or block of it until firm but not solid (this usually takes about 30 minutes).

Is bread pudding supposed to be runny? ›

So, suffice to say, we understand the importance of getting your bread pudding just right. One major problem that you may have come across is bread pudding that is just too wet. A good bread pudding needs to be moist with a custardy-like texture, but it should not be anywhere close to runny.

Will my pudding thicken when it cools? ›

You should wipe a clear, clean line through the custard. Remove from heat. The pudding will thicken more as it cools.

How do you keep a pudding pie from getting watery? ›

To fix this, you can cook the pudding mixture over low heat until it thickens, or add a thickener such as cornstarch or tapioca flour. Another possible reason for a runny banana cream pie is that the pie filling was not chilled properly before being added to the crust.
