This bread pudding recipe is based on one from the famed Bon Ton Cafe in New Orleans. My friend Becca gave us the recipe years ago and now it’s a family favorite, especially around the holidays!
The sauce uses plenty of bourbon (Becca says the Bon Ton’s sauce has even more bourbon in it), but feel free to cut down the amount. We also give directions for making a kid-friendly bourbon-free version of the sauce.
My father always gets a dazed and happy look in his eyes when this bread pudding is mentioned.
