Bread Pudding is one of our favorites, and this rich dessert is made even tastier with our Traditional Madeleines in the mix.

Ingredients:
Four 8 ounce ramekins
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Irish whiskey
12 Donsuemor Traditional Madeleines
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger
Butter

1. Grease each ramekin with butter thoroughly, set aside.
2. In a clean mixing bowl, combine sugar, spices, eggs, vanilla and whiskey. Whisk until combined, whisk in the cream until incorporated.
3. In each ramekin, layer 3 Traditional madeleines, scatter in raisins and ginger, and then distribute egg mixture evenly amongst ramekins.
4. Allow to soak overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°.
5. Bake 350° for about 30 minutes, or until golden and firm. Remove from oven, set aside until cool enough to eat, about 20 minutes.
