Basic Bread Pudding Custard

Basic Bread Pudding Custard

Course Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2 c Milk scalded
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla-whisk the hot milk in. That is custard.
  • You can use more bowls and double boilers but in my kitchen I'll be cleaning up so I cut to the chase. Keep it simple. 
  • French bread is what I like to use. I cut it into squares put it into an ovenware dish and cover with the custard.
  • The bread likes to float so I put another dish on top to keep the bread covered.
  • I prefer to have more custard than bread.
  • Some people like it drier and add a sauce.
  • All custard likes to be cooked in a water bath, I would recommend it but you dont have to, just keep the heat down. 

Notes

Let's think of some good combinations:
- Chocolate bread pudding with banana creme anglaise
- Maple bread pudding with whipped cream
- Rum raisin bread pudding with whipped cream
- Brandied chestnut bread pudding with maple syrup and whipped cream
- Mocha bread pudding with chocolate sauce
- Almond bread pudding with whipped cream and toasted almonds
