Instructions

  1. 1 Place bread slices on a wire rack to dry while preparing batter.
  2. 2 Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. 3 Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Whisk sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into egg. When butter has cooled slightly, slowly drizzle it into egg mixture while whisking. Add flour to egg mixture, a little at a time, until a smooth thick paste forms. Slowly blend in milk and vanilla; whisk until just smooth and set aside.
  4. 4 Heat remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. 5 Dip a bread slice in batter and allow to soak for no more than 30 seconds. Remove from batter and allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Place battered slice in the hot skillet. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
  6. 6 Cook bread slices until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make sauce: stir 1 1/4 cups sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat; pour in 1 1/4 cups cream (mixture will bubble up), stir over low heat until caramel is melted and smooth. Increase heat and boil until sauce is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in pecans and bourbon.
  2. 2 To make pudding: preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Combine milk, 2 cups cream, and 1 cup sugar in heavy large saucepan over medium high heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and stir until smooth.
  4. 4 Beat eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture; add bread cubes and let stand until bread absorbs some of the custard, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil.
  5. 5 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until set in center, about 45 minutes. Serve pudding warm or at room temperature with warm sauce.
