Instructions
1- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
2- Prepare the Raisins:
- Drain the soaked raisins and set them aside.
3- Prepare the Bread Mixture:
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish using your preferred brand of non-stick spray e.g., Pam.
- In a large bowl, tear the bread into pieces and soak with evaporated milk. Press with your hands until well mixed and the milk is absorbed.
4- Combine Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the sugar, melted butter, vanilla, spices, and salt. Mix well.
- Gently fold in the rum-soaked raisins into this mixture.
5- Bake the Bread Pudding:
- Pour the bread mix into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the edges start getting brown and the pudding pulls away slightly from the pan edges.
6- Prepare the Butter Rum Sauce:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the sugar, milk, and egg yolk, whisking constantly to blend well. Temper the egg yolk before adding by gradually mixing in a bit of the hot sauce to avoid curdling.
- Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture thickens. Do not let it simmer.
- Whisk in the spiced rum and remove from heat. Whisk again before serving for a soft, creamy, and smooth sauce.
7- Serve:
- Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled with the butter rum sauce on top.
