10 oz Loaf stale French bread,
Crumbled (or 6-8 cups of any
Type
Bread)
1 1/2 c Milk
1 1/2 c Heavy cream (or another 1
1/2 c Milk)
1 c Banana liqueur
2 c Sugar
1/2 c Butter, melted
4 Eggs
2 tb Vanilla
5 c Up bananas
1 c Chopped pecans
1 tb Cinnamon
Combine bread, milk, cream, banana liqueur, sugar, butter, eggs,
vanilla, bananas, pecans and cinnamon. Mixture should be very moist
but not soupy. (It should look like cooked oatmeal.) Pour into
buttered 9×12″ or larger baking dish. Place into a non-preheated
oven. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve warm
with sauce.
Serves 16 to 20 (unless you invite me).
Bananas Foster Sauce 1/2 c butter 2 c dark brown sugar 4 oz banana
liqueur 4 oz dark rum Cinnamon
Melt butter and add brown sugar to form a creamy paste. Let this
mixture caramelize over heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in banana
liqueur and rum. Heat and ignite. Agitate to keep flame burning, and
add a few pinches of voodoo magic (cinnamon) to the flame. Let flames
go out and serve warm over warm bread pudding.
