Recommended Blodgett Equipment:

Blodgett Combi Oven/Steamers

Preheat to: 325 in the Combi Mode

Prepare the bread as follows: The loaf should fit roughly in a 2 inch half pan, level at the top. Cube in 1 inch pieces and dry out. You can speed up the process in a low oven at 200 F. Toss with 1/3 cup of melted butter

PUDDING DIRECTIONS

Combine eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla. Butter or spray your baking dish. Place bread in dish, add milk mixture.
Allow to soak at least one hour, over night works very well.

Set Blodgett on Combi mode at 325 degrees. Bake from 30 to 40 minutes or until set. If desired bowning is complete before custard is set, turn Combi to 300 degrees until set.

Serve hot with Bourbon sauce and whipped cream if you like.

BOURBON SAUCE
½ cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
½ cup bourbon

In a double boiler combine butter, sugar and egg. Heat mixture over simmering water until thickened, between 10 and 15 minutes. Add bourbon when sauce is slightly cooled. The more you cool sauce before adding bourbon, the more intense.
