I recently read an article in To-ronto Life magazine which provided the inspiration for
this column. The restaurant
reviewers wrote: “Bread Pud-
ding — This cozy dessert has
long been a traditional home
comfort during our unrelenting
winters, but it didn’t appear on
Toronto’s restaurant menus un-
til recently.”
Satisfying sophisticated
Toronto restaurant patrons is
quite an elevation in status
for this homey dessert when
you consider that originally it
was simply a way for a thrifty
homemaker to make use of
stale bread. The descriptions of
bread puddings in this article
were so tempting that I decided
to experiment with my basic
bread pudding recipe. Mem-
bers of my family were eager
taste testers for this project!
Warm and consoling, I think
you’ll find — as we did — that
bread pudding is the ideal an-
tidote for our impatience with
the winter weather.
Bread pudding
From leftovers to delicacy
My family named this variation based on a song by the band
Fiery Furnaces entitled “Tropical Iceland.”
1. Add nutmeg to the egg-milk mixture from the basic recipe.
2. Place 1/2 the bread cubes in a greased baking dish; sprinkle 1/2
the pineapple chunks, coconut and pecan pieces over top. Pour
1/2 the egg-milk mixture over all.
3. Repeat and then bake as directed in the basic recipe.
Tip: Wonderful with rum added to the Butterscotch Sauce.
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
2. Whisk eggs and milk. Add remaining ingredients. Mix
together and pour over cubes.
3. Put in baking dish. Place in pan filled with 1-inch deep hot
water.
4. Bake about 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out
clean.
5. Spoon butterscotch sauce over each serving as desired.
1. Combine all ingredients in a double boiler; mix well.
2. Over hot water cook until thickened; stir frequently.
3. Stir before using (may be reheated).
*Substitute whiskey or rum for water if desired.
Tip: Cut bread into smaller cubes if you prefer a finer tex-
tured pudding.
Prepare the following variations using the above recipe as
the basis. (Omit the raisins).
1. Melt chocolate squares with butter.
2. Place 1/2 the bread cubes in a greased baking dish; sprinkle
1/2 the raspberries and then drizzle 1/2 the melted choco-
late over the cubes; pour 1/2 of the egg-milk mixture over
all from the above recipe.
3. Repeat and then bake as directed in the basic recipe.
Tips: Baking time will be longer due to the added moisture
from the raspberries. Mixed berries can also be used.
2 1/4 cups milk
2 slightly beaten eggs
3 - 4 cups 1-inch day-old
bread cubes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup raisins
1 slightly beaten egg yolk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup water*
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 – 3 squares semisweet choco-
late
1 – 2 tbsp. butter
1 cup raspberries
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup pineapple chunks, well
drained
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Bread pudding has many mouth-watering variations.
Brauðbúðingur (Bread Pudding)
Butterscotch Sauce (makes 1 cup)
Chocolate-Raspberry
Tropical Iceland
Toppings: Alternatives to
the butterscotch sauce could be
lemon or custard sauce, maple
syrup, a dollop of whipped
cream, skyr or yogurt for the
health conscious.
I hope you are now inspired
to create your own unique bread
pudding concoctions. Consider
adding bananas, blueberries,
apples, peaches — as you’ve
probably realized by now there
are innumerable delicious pos-
sibilities. I have made pumpkin
bread and even a savoury dill
bread pudding with a sumptu-
ous seafood stew ladled overtop
which could be a “to be contin-
ued” bread pudding column in
the future!
