Prep: 15 min | Total: 1 hr | Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients
Bread Pudding
- 1 (16.3 ounce) can Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated Buttermilk biscuits
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk or Half-and-Half
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze and Decorations
- 2 cups cream cheese frosting (from two 1 pound cans)
- 2 tablespoons bourbon, if desired
- Yellow, purple and green sanding sugar, coarse sparkling sugar or candy sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13 x 9 inch (3 quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Bread Pudding
- Bake biscuits as directed on can. Cool.
- Meanwhile, in very large bowl, beat eggs slightly. Add milk and sugar; beat well. Stir in pecans, raisins and cinnamon.
- Cut each cooled biscuit into 6 (1 inch) pieces. Add biscuit pieces to egg mixture; gently stir to mix and coat well. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so biscuit pieces soak up egg mixture. Pour mixture into baking dish; press down slightly to even top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until knife inserted into egg mixture comes out clean.
- Remove from oven; cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Glaze and Decorations
- In small bowl, mix frosting and bourbon until well combined. Spread Glaze evenly over Bread Pudding.
- Sprinkle sanding sugar over top to make it pretty!
