Biscuit Bread Pudding
Here’s a comforting twist on a classic dessert that transforms simple biscuits into something extraordinary. This biscuit bread pudding is perfect for using up leftover biscuits and creates a warm, custardy treat that’s both familiar and special. Let’s walk through each step together to ensure your pudding turns out perfectly.
Ingredients
– 4 cups day-old buttermilk biscuits, torn into rough 1-inch chunks
– 2 cups whole milk, gently warmed
– 3 large farm-fresh eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Arrange the torn biscuit chunks evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a slightly textured surface for better custard absorption.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the warmed whole milk, farm-fresh eggs, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt until completely smooth and well combined.
4. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the biscuit chunks, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly moistened.
5. Gently press down on the biscuit pieces with the back of a spoon to help them absorb the custard evenly.
6. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pudding.
7. Let the pudding sit undisturbed for 15 minutes to allow the biscuits to fully absorb the custard mixture.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set with no liquid custard visible when gently pressed.
9. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the custard to set properly.
Velvety and rich, this pudding develops a beautifully crisp top layer that gives way to a soft, custard-soaked interior beneath. The buttery biscuit pieces maintain just enough texture to provide delightful contrast against the smooth egg custard. For an extra special treat, serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream melting over the top.
