3/4 lb bread, french or sourdough
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
4 oz butter, melted
CUSTARD MIX
2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
8 eggs, large
5 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
WHISKEY SAUCE
8 oz butter, melted
2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 eggs, large, beaten well
1 oz whiskey
Directions
CUSTARD: Break bread into medium pieces. Add pecans and melted butter.
Arrange in 9x13 pan.
Blend eggs, salt and sugar lightly with wire whip. Add vanilla and
milk. Blend and strain. Pour over bread and nuts in pan.
Bake at 350oF. in pan of water* for 20-25 minutes. Test with knife.
*Note: for custard to bake properly, you must create this double
boiler effect. Plan size of pan accordingly.
WHISKEY SAUCE: Melt butter. Whip in sifted powdered sugar. Fold in
eggs. Add whiskey. Serve warm.
I usually reheat this in the microwave before serving just to ensure
that the eggs are *cooked* thoroughly.
I have used butterscotch schnapps instead of whiskey and it was
delicious!
Servings: 10 servings

The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
