A wonderfully boozy, light and rich bread and butter pudding made with your choice of chocolate or raisins.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed stale bread or brioche in UK, use an 8 oz mug to measure the bread cubes
  • 3 cups milk whole
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream single or runny double cream in the UK
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp butter pat
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg grated
  • ¼ cup chocolate chunks good quality (or raisins)

FOR THE WHISKY SAUCE

  • ⅔ cup brown sugar soft, light
  • 1 oz butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Golden Syrup
  • 4 oz heavy whipping cream single cream in the UK
  • 2 Tbsp. Scotch whisky
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Rub the pat of butter around the inside of an oven-proof dish, then place the bread into the baking dish.
  • Lightly beat the eggs with a whisk. Next, pour the eggs into the milk and cream (I did this in two batches as I used the measuring jug, but it is easier to do in one larger bowl.
  • Add the sugar, and stir well. Now add the nutmeg.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips, or chunks, or raisins over the bread. Next, pour the egg mixture over the bread and chocolate, soaking all the bread.
  • Allow the bread to soak for about half an hour, then heat the oven to 375° F (190° C)
  • Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, until the pudding is puffy and the top is lightly browned.
  • While the pudding is baking, make the whisky sauce.

Whisky Sauce

  • Put the first four ingredients into a small pot over medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the whisky, stirring well.
  • When pudding is ready, let cool for about 15 minutes. Then pour most of the syrup over the top.
  • Serve warm, or heat before serving.

Notes

The whisky sauce isn't necessary, but makes a wonderful addition. Use another liqueur or spirit if you don't like whisky.
