"Hi. My name is Gator Hillard and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village to talk today about making Bread Pudding with a Bourbon Sauce. Okay, next, we got the bread pudding in the oven so it's starting to bake like I said it takes forty minutes. Before you take the aluminum foil off of it and then you got about another five to seven for it to start to get golden brown. So while that's cooking, you want to go ahead and start making your sauce for it. You can use different kinds of liquor. Some people use rum, some people use bourbon; today we're going to use bourbon. I'm using Jim Beam. Basically what you got is you got a half-teaspoon of vanilla that you're going to be using for this. It's one and a half sticks of butter. Like I said, leave it out so it gets soft so it's easier to break up and it won't take that much time to melt because you really don't want to wait that long. This is your Jim Beam. It calls for two, like tablespoons, but you can just go ahead and use, if you're a drinker, use more. I don't know. But I like to be able to taste it a little bit better. So that's what I use. I mean, it calls for one pound of powdered sugar, one pound, traditionally, like when you go into a grocery store, it's going to be like one box. That is just one pound, that's how it comes unless you buy it in like a bag or something. So, just one pound, you got a couple tablespoons of like bourbon, you could use spiced rum, Captain Morgan, whatever you want to use, your little bit of vanilla, one and a half stick of unsalted butter."
