In addition to the Chicken Pot Pie, we thought we would make a couple of after dinner treats for our guests. One recipe from the back of Ad Hoc that stood out was "Banana Bread Pudding." The recipe seemed a little complicated when we started, but we had no idea it would take more than 4 hours to make!
Here are the basic ingredients:
First, you cut the bread lengthwise and lightly toast in the oven:
Then you make the custard with a lot of whole milk and heavy cream!:
Eggs and sugar for the custard:
Splitting fresh organic bananas for the pudding:
Here is the finished custard base:
You start the process of building the dish by pouring a little custard in a pan, then dipping the bread in:
After the bread is laid out, you place the bananas on top then cover with the rest of the bread with the slices going the opposite way:
Once constructed, you bake the dish in a larger pan filled with water for an hour:
Once it's baked and has sit in the fridge overnight to cool, Keller recommends frying small squares in some butter for taste:
Here is the final product:
The Verdict
While very time consuming...this was an awesome dish. Very flavorful and tasty. It works almost as well for breakfast!
Hi there P. Channon!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Steve Walters and I recently started blogging at http://www.eatingbangkok.com, which is currently being updated with recipes, but in the next few months will be my vehicle for covering the food and restaurant scene in Bangkok Thailand.
I am now in the process of meeting as many food bloggers as I can and I found your site http://pchannon.blogspot.com recently and was pretty impressed. I've added your site to my Foodie Blogs list here: http://www.eatingbangkok.com/foodie-blogs/ and would also like to add you to my blogroll.
If you could add my site to your blogroll and write back to let me know it has been added (foodie [at] eatingbangkok.com) I will add you to mine as well and the exchange would be greatly appreciated!
As you might imagine I am very excited to get moved to Bangkok and get started on covering the food scene there as I feel it is an area that isn't well covered by English speaking bloggers. I plan on adding loads of great reviews, pictures and even video and will be holding contests as well. It should be fun, entertaining and informative for everyone that visits.
Thank you so much in advance for adding me to your blogroll and I look forward to reading your posts (I've subscribed!) and maybe even featuring some of your own posts as I do plan on a weekly roundup of Thai themed recipes and posts from other food bloggers.
Warm regards,
Steve
