Ingredients
- 1 - 6-pack day old danishes
- custard:
- 2 c. whole milk
- 1 c. heavy cream or half and half
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 c. pecans, chopped
- sauce:
- In a double boiler:
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 5 oz. evaporated milk, heavy cream or half and half
- 4 T. butter
- 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk, beaten
Directions
I went to Kroger's and found a 6-pack of Schnecken Danishes. Day-old and stale, just the way I like em. I paid 99 cents.
Chop into cubes.
Whisk custard ingredients well and pour over your danish cubes. Sprinkle pecans over top and dunk everything to get it all coated.
Put the dish in the frig and let the bread soak up the custard for about an hour.
About half way through, stir it up so that the top bread cubes get soaked too.
Bake off in a 350* oven for an hour. If the edges are looking too brown, lay a piece of foil over the top during the last 15 mins. or so of baking time.
While your pudding is cooling, make the sauce.
Whisk often and DO NOT LET THIS BOIL!
Take your time, I promise it's worth it.
This will start out thick, as it heats it will thin out, then as it cooks it will thicken back up and get sticky and viscous looking.
At the end, after off the heat, whisk in 3 T. rum.
Slather all this over your bread pudding and enjoy!
