Title: BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE-Bon Ton Cafe
Categories: Puddings, Cajun
Yield: 8 servings

MMMMM-----------------------BREAD PUDDING----------------------------
1 Loaf French bread
1 Quart milk
3 Eggs
2 c Sugar
2 tb Vanilla extract
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 c Raisins
3 tb Melted margarine

MMMMM-----------------------WHISKEY SAUCE----------------------------
1 c Sugar
1 Stick butter
-(or margarine)
1 Egg, beaten
2 oz Bourbon whiskey or
-Southern Comfort;
-rum also works well

This is the classic New Orleans bread pudding, as prepared at the Bon
Ton Cafe on Magazine Street. I consider it a quintessential version,
but there are many possible variations: you can enrich it by using
half-and-half instead of milk, and an extra egg; you can add
different fruits, nuts, etc.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear bread into chunks and soak in milk.
Crush with hands to make sure milk has soaked through. Add eggs,
sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, raisins and stir well. Pour melted
margarine or butter in bottom of a heavy 9 x 14 baking pan. Add bread
mixture (and I sprinkle more cinnamon and raisins on top) and bake
until very firm, about 40 mins. Cool pudding, cube it and put it into
individual dessert dishes. When ready to serve, add whiskey sauce and
heat under broiler for a few minutes (last step optional).

Whiskey sauce

A variation that I like is to use Southern Comfort for the sauce
instead of whiskey. Cream sugar and butter and cook in a
double-boiler until very hot and well-dissolved. Add well-beaten egg
very slowly and whip very fast so egg doesn't curdle. Cool and add
liquor. Walt MM

There are a lot of easy banana pudding recipes out there.

Here is one I use when I don't feel like getting really fancy with it. It is very simple, takes no time at all, and tastes really good. This is by no means any elaborate recipe. It is as simple as you can make it, but it works.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 (5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (eagle brand if you can find it)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1-2 (16 ounce) package vanilla wafers
10-14 bananas, sliced

In a large mixing bowl, beat pudding mix and milk 2 minutes. Blend in condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla and fold in whipped topping. Layer wafers, bananas and pudding mixture in a glass serving bowl. Chill until serving (I usually aim for at least 4 hours to chill and let everything come together) Sprinkle crushed nilla wafers on top before serving.

**I use a pyrex dish instead of a serving bowl for easier consistent layers**

Google Pascal’s Manale bread pudding. Don’t make the sauce it calls for. Heat heavy cream and slowly melt in a bag of ghiardelli white chocolate chips then serve that on top. It’s delicious.

For banana pudding, google banana fluff instead. 10x better.
