breadpudding2Bread Pudding Pancakes with
Vanilla Custard Sauce and Cinnamon Sugar Butter

Serves 6

Bread Pudding Pancakes
14 slices of firm white bread, cut into 1 inch squares
2 ½ cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 ¼  cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

Place bread in a large bowl.  Add milk.  Let bread soak for about 10 minutes until softened.  While bread is soaking, mix together in a small bowl the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Add flour mixture to the bread and gently fold until just about half incorporated.  Add eggs and vegetable oil.  Mix gently.

Melt butter in skillet.  Drop batter in 1/3 cup fulls.  Cook 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat.  Pancakes will have a moist bread pudding-like inside.

Serve pancakes topped with cinnamon sugar butter with a ramekin of vanilla custard sauce on the side.

Cinnamon Sugar Butter
½ pound unsalted butter, cold
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Melt ¼ pound of butter in a small saucepan; add salt, cinnamon and sugar.  Cook until the sugar is dissolved.  Pour into mixing bowl and let cool to room temperature.  Add remaining ¼ pound of cold butter.  Whip with hand mixer until creamy and fluffy.

Vanilla Custard Sauce
1 pint heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise and seeds scraped out
4 egg yolks, whisked
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Put heavy cream in a sauce pan.  Add the vanilla bean pod and seeds.  Bring to a simmer.  Add sugar to egg yolks and whisk until all there is no clumps.  Add ¼ cup of warm heavy cream mixture to egg yolk mixture and whisk immediately; this is called ‘tempering’.  Add the egg yolk mixture to the warm heavy cream.  Simmer while mixing with wooden spoon until thickened and coats the back of the spoon.

Chill over an ice bath.

    The only way to describe this is “orgasmic.” I visited from DC with two other girlfriends and you kindly brought one to us at our table as a gift. It was amazing that when we left that we were still talking to each other. We fought over every morsel and I have committed myself to make it for our girlfriend group. You may hear screaming all the way from DC (:

    I recently visited my daughter in Chi and she took me to your place and I “had to try” your bread pudding pancakes. The only thing better than the pancakes is the fact that you so freely give your recipe to all. Thank you.

    PS: I will “herd” all possible to your establishment. ITF
