rum sauce

This bread pudding with hot butter rum sauce is the best bread pudding I've ever had! The sauce alone will change your life.

Bread Pudding with Hot Butter Rum Sauce

French bread

dark brown sugar

milk

butter

cinnamon

vanilla

raisins

rum, divided

eggs

heavy cream

white sugar

For the bread pudding, cut or tear bread into pieces and place in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt brown sugar, milk, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, raisins, and 2 1/2 tablespoons rum. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Pour over bread and allow to soak for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add 4 beaten eggs to the soaked bread mixture and stir gently. The bread should be completely saturated with the egg and milk mixture. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square baking dish and bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is browned and the middle is set. Do not overbake or the bread pudding will become dry.

For the sauce, melt the heavy cream, white sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Do not boil or the mixture will start to crystallize. When sugar has dissolved, add 1 1/2 tablespoons rum. Pour the warm sauce over each slice of bread pudding before serving.

I would love to make the bread pudding w/ butter rum sauce. But the recipe doesn't tell you how much butter &amp; sugar to use in the pudding &amp; how much to use in the sauce. Would someone please clarify this over site in the instructions. I wanna make it. Thanks..... Pete

I agree...I started making the recipe and when I got to the sauce, I noticed this inconsistency, as well as the fact that the recipe calls for white and brown sugar, but only ever refers to sugar as "sugar" in both parts of the body of the recipe.  The pictures sure look good, but the recipe isn't very well written. I looked up another recipe and am going to end up with some kind of Frankenpudding in the end. I'm using a totally different recipe for the sauce. Not sure how it's going to come out yet...but have to give this low stars for being incomplete.

Ok, there must be some kind of conspiracy going on because this is the second super-scrumptious recipe requiring the purchase of RUM to fly into my day today. Heh. :)

That looks so delicious, cozy and comforting. Makes me think of Christmas morning! YUM!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... i want some..  (ps i like it when you categorize posts as breakfast and dessert)

I've never made bread pudding before... but I wonder if I could use whole grain bread instead?  Hmmm.  Looks great!
