Ingredients:
1/4 lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 2 (12 oz.) cans evaporated milk (3 cups) 3 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. cream of tarter 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 7 slices stale (preferred) white sandwich bread, toasted Rum Sauce: 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup packed brown sugar pinch of salt 2 Tbsp dark Rum
Directions:
Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until creamed, about 5 minutes, pushing sides down with a rubber spatula. Add the milk, eggs, vanilla,cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cream of tarter, and ginger, beating on low speed until batter is thoroughly blended, about 3 minutes, and pushing sides down as needed. Line the bottom of an ungreased 8 x 8 inch baking pan evenly with the toasted bread, breaking it into small pieces. Pour the mixture over the bread and let sit for about 1 hour, patting down the bread that floats up occasionally. Bake at 450 degrees until very well browned and the mixture shakes like a bowl of jelly when the pan is gently shaken back and forth, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes before serving. Rum Sauce: Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream, sugar, and salt. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir in rum. | |
