TIPS FOR GREAT
Bread Pudding
TIPS, TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
One key to great home cooking is having a few of those "clear out the larder" recipes in your arsenal. These are those soups, casseroles and desserts that tend to use perishable ingredients that need to be consumed sooner rather than later and staples usually already on hand. Bread pudding is a timeless example of these better-than-the-sum-of-its-parts recipes, versions of which exist all over the world. Bread pudding is adaptable and can be made with a variety of spices and toppings, so try experimenting once you have this one down. If you enjoy the bourbon caramel sauce, try it again with other desserts.
- SMOOTH FINISH
This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, KY., just like Bill, Sr. would have wanted.
