 Out of the oven and awash in praline sauce - time for a taste |
 Bread pudding always requires bread - in this recipe, about 2 pan loaves... |
 ...which will give you a bounty of future bread crumbs, if you 'trim' the crusts - not everyone does. It's only for appearance |
 Measure the dry ingredients for the pudding... |
 ...coarsely chop the pecans... |
 ...you'll need 2/3 C, twice, so get all the chopping done at one time |
 heat the milk and melt in the butter, then... |
 ...add the eggs to the spices and slowly temper the egg-spice mixture with the warm milk |
 Now add the raisins, then the chopped nuts |
 Turn the pudding to distribute the rasins and nuts throughout the sodden bread - do not fear the anount of liquid you see |
 While the oven preheats and the bread is soaking, butter up a 9x13
pan |
 Then fill the pan with the pudding mixture - be sure to distribute it evenly |
 While the bread pudding bakes to golden toasty perfection, make the praline sauce... |
 Gather all the ingredients for the praline sauce |
 Here's where that second2/3 C of chopped pecans comes in |
 Bring the liquid to a low boil for a few seconds, then add the nuts |
 Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter and stir to make a creamy praline sauce |
 This praline sauce is a stand-alone topping - try it on ice cream or poached peaches |
 Meantime, I'll have a small slab of goodness in the Creole Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce |

The Praline Sauce is a stand-alone that will add depth and excitement to any cake or pudding, but it marries perfectly with this Cajun-inspired recipe. This is a dish that I have served hundreds of times and is always a favorite - so much so that folks often ask for a serving or two 'to go'.
Easy ingredients, easy to prepare. This dessert is a real Big Easy...

03 de Junio de 2011Hey there, suzybel56 - The sauce will work on ice cream and pound cake, etc. And since you appear to be a bread pudding lover, I hope you'll give the Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello Sauce a test drive. I truly appreciate both your enthusiasm and hope for your feedback. Best regards, Amos
03 de Junio de 2011I have been making a lot of bread pudding but never with the praline sauce, I can't wait to try this!!
23 de Marzo de 2011Well, if I'm to serve it to others, then I have to taste it first. If I taste it first...I will most certainly be a goner. Nope, no self restraint here.
- 22 de Marzo de 2011Oh Amos, I totally agree with Michelle M. This looks deadly and easy.3 replies
You ever heard of the "Axe handle measurement"? I'm going to apply said measurement to my own self soon, especially with recipes like this! lol - 22 de Marzo de 2011I guess I'll have to post some photos... The sauce is so simple and so perfect - and so versatile that it simply stands on it's own. The only place to go with this is straight on a dessert... You are always so encouraging!

Pardon the Marsha Brady, but this is dreamy!
