To make the Bread and Butter Pudding
- Preheat your oven to 175°C.
- Lightly butter a round baking pan using a small amount of butter.
- Generously butter each slice of raisin bread with the remaining butter and cut the slices into triangles.
- Arrange the bread slices in the baking pan, overlapping them slightly to create a layered effect.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Carefully pour the mixture over the bread, ensuring that all the slices are soaked. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
To make the Bourbon Sauce
- While the pudding is baking, prepare the bourbon sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
- Reduce the heat and add the cream and a pinch of salt. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Serving Suggestions
- Once the Bread and Butter Pudding is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- To serve, drizzle the warm Bourbon Sauce generously over the top of the pudding.
- Add a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream on the side for an extra indulgent touch.
