Irish Bread Pudding
Dessert with a Dram of Whiskey

Bread pudding is one of those old dishes. It has certainly been around in some form or another since bread was invented. Take some stale bread, an egg or two, a bit of milk, sugar, and a fire and cook the mixture. It’s just bread baked in a sweetened custard. What could be simpler?
Bread pudding with raisins and whiskey is a traditional Christmas treat in parts of Ireland. The apples are my addition as is the whiskey/cream topping.







That’s my kind of dessert.
Do you ever make ‘hard sauce?’
I love bread pudding with a rum hard sauce, but have never made it.
Vicki,
I’ve made hard sauce many times – piece of cake. You can also flavor it with kirsch, bourbon, brandy…
