Unlike most Southern bread puddings, this one doesn't have a bourbon sauce. This one originates from North Carolina and has a cognac sauce.

How To Make bread pudding with cognac sauce

Step 1

Combine the milk and butter in a medium saucepan; cook over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Combine the French bread cubes, raisins, and pecans in a large bowl; toss gently. Pour reserved milk mixture over the bread mixture, stirring gently. Add the coconut, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg and salt; stir gently.
Step 3

Spoon the mixture into a greased 1 1/2 quart souffle dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for 50 to 60 minutes or until set.
Step 4

Meanwhile, make the cognac sauce. Beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium until fluffy; gradually add the sugar, beating well. Add the cognac and beat until smooth.
Step 5

Serve warm with the cognac sauce.
