Bread Pudding with Hot Buttered Rum Sauce 

This wonderful recipe is part of her legacy. A great big "thank you!" going out to her son for allowing this channel to continue. May she rest in peace.🙏

I miss Phyllis so much and thank you to her son for all that he's been doing

Here I go again. I'm back on this wonderful page to get Phillis's wonderful recipe for Bread Pudding. Phyllis is still with us as long as her Bread Pudding is on our table. She was wonderful in so many ways and our Holiday meals would not be the same without her contributions. The best!

I made this just today and it is just delicious. I almost got a little teary eyed after I tasted it. Her demeanor in her videos just touched my heart and tasting her lovely recipes just made me a little emotional! I wish I had know this lovely lady who blessed us with her talents. May the Lord continue to bless her family.

It’s been a while since she has passed and I do still miss her videos and find myself sitting here binge watching some of her dessert recipes. She had her own style which was just so pleasant and soothing… I’m sure she’s teaching the angels how to make bread pudding.

My mom made this. She just threw it together adding eggs, milk, butter, sugar, vanilla and left over homemade biscuits crumbled up. It was always quite a treat. Phyllis' recipe looks delicious and much like one I had on a cruise years ago. I must try it. Phyllis lives on in her videos and I've become a fan of her unassuming style. It's just like she's talking to you only and just herself. I liked how she said she just put a blab of butter on her rice pudding. Sounded like something I might say. I need rice pudding to eat when I'm working if it gives me energy like Phyllis. That was another video I watched.

To the Colonel, Thank you so much for continuing on with your mama’s cooking legacy. You can be so proud having had a mom who was so kind and warm spoken!! Just as proud as she would be of you looking down at you from heaven!! You have made her proud and we are all thankful to you for all that you do! Have a blessed Christmas and good luck with your pilots license.

I found this recipe after you were gone. It is simply wonderful! I just found out that you passed away. No more pain. Your recipes and memories will last forever. RIP.

The Best bread pudding I have ever dreamed of! Miss you Miss Phyllis. Thanks Col. Steve for keeping her videos available for us!

Miss her and that voice.

Re-watching some of my favorite recipes. We really miss your sweet face and calm voice Phyllis.

This is my favorite recipe of Phyllis's. I've made it many times for family and friends and always get compliments. God Bless her for all these amazing recipes!✝️

I just got home from the supermarket with every ingredient I need. I’ll be putting the loaf of bread in the oven to harden up first. I’m soooo excited. Thank u MsPyllis We miss u and Mr Bucky so much. 🤗

Ms. Stokes, I am a new subscriber because of your video about how you cooked a pork loin in an insta-pot. That was exactly what my son and I were looking for. I then checked out several other of your videos and found them looking and sounding DELICIOUS. I can now pig-out on some great looking foods. I just watched this one on making a bread pudding with hot rum sauce and it looks fantastic. My mother used to make bread puddings for my Daddy, but I never tried it because it did not look and sound good to me ( per-teen and later teenager, I am now 72 yrs. old and open to trying foods I've never tried before). Have a Blessed Day and remember, God loves you.

Dear Phyllis I wanted to tell you how wonderful your Rum Read Pudding recipe is. I served it @my Son-in-law’ October Fest. &it was a hit! The white (rum) sauce is so decadent & talk about Comfort Food...this is it. I made exactly like you did only I substituted regular raisins vs. the golden raisins. Thank you for your tireless hours of recipes & tireless house keeping us all waiting to see what’s next out of your kitchen! thani Also I found this somewhere else that raisins won’t sink if you toss them in flour they won’t sink. I found it to be true. Thanks Again Nancy Lee

I agree I stumbled upon her a few years ago and I was hooked. I loved her demeanor her talking like a teacher just her overall spirit was just inviting. She told a story it seems with every recipe. Your son is a big chip off the block I see. God bless you both. PS. This bread pudding ouch. Hurts cause it’s sooooo good!

Going to try this recipe for my grandson. Feeling grateful for Ms. Phyllis' for sharing her recipes!

PERFECTION!!!! I made this recipe last weekend, brioche bread (dried), and I used 8 cups of cubes for the liquid volume. After I poured the mixture into the baking dish (high sided), I manually mixed in raisins on one half (one person who was going to have some doesn't like raisins). I doubled the freshly grated nutmeg, maybe a bit more, no mace, and while the nutmeg wasn't obvious, I am sure that it did, as Phyllis indicated, enhance the taste. 90 @ 300 minutes was perfect. Delicious. PERFECTION!!!!!

Oh Phyllis you have no idea how much you are treasured. My prayers are going out for your quick recovery and more importantly that your heart may be brought comfort. I'm so sorry for the hard year you have had. God bless you Phyllis.

This is a great recipe. Some ingredients I had to substitute because I didn’t have them in the house. It came out fantastic!! Instead of rum I used Irish cream liquour Did not have ground nutmeg or mace so I used allspice(1/4) cinnamon(1/2) and pumpkin spice(1/8). Only had the dark raisins in the cupboard. Plus I added extra bread crumbs = 8cups. I wanted the pudding to be firmer for the sauce. Baked at 300 for 1 1/2hr no foil. I like a browner crust. Omgosh how delicious!

Last Sunday, I rewatched this video and followed along to make Phyllis' bread pudding. It makes a huge batch. Yummm... Miss you Phyllis. 💙

I never did return to this video to Thank You for this recipe. It is without a doubt the BEST bread pudding I have ever made or tasted! Next time I buy some Rum, I plan to make it again. I'll probably make it every time I buy Rum, which means I'm sure I'll go out of my way to buy Rum more often than I usually do. Thanks!

R.I.P. MRS. PHYLLIS. Thanks for the love you gave to us thru your videos and tales, Mr. Bucky, the dogs, your whole family. God bless!!!

It's 5:31am, here in southeast Michigan, and I've just finished making your bread pudding. Oh... I've also finished polishing off a generous portion of it, too, haha ;) THANK YOU for making my life a lot better by teaching me how to make this amazing dessert!!!

I am sending you prayers ! I miss your videos and hearing your recipes. Please know you are loved

Phyllis, I took your clue about baking at low temp all night and placed the pudding in a slow cooker for overnight. Hope to have a very sweet breakfast tomorrow morning !! Thanks for posting this recipe. I have a container of run with raisins soaking... has been for over a year. It's perfect for occasions like this !

I made this bread pudding today. WOW! What a cook! Superb. I miss Mrs. Stokes.. Heartfelt hello to her son, thank you for keeping these treasures going

I am about to put my ANNUAL Phyllis Stokes Bread pudding in the oven. It will be a wonderful dessert for our Thanksgiving. I have made it every year since I found it here on RU-vid. Thank you, Phyllis...it is the BEST!

Phyllis I could listen to you talk and watch you cook all day! Your voice is so soothing. God bless you 🦋

Phillis, you are good for my blood pressure, so soothing. Love and blessings, thank you for your videos.

Your. Bread pudding was THE very beast I’ve ever eaten.. the rum based pudding & the bettered rum sauce was a home rum. Everyone loved this bread pudding. Thanks Phillis

Well done, Phyllis and great story on rum's Caribbean history. I tried your rum sauce recipe and it turned out awesome. 👍🏽 In addition, I added a stick of cinnamon and a few cloves of spice for added flavor.

Just found this and I’m so glad. The recipes remind me of my mother’s! I love her voice especially!

The bread pudding looks delicious, can't wait to make it! Thank you for sharing your recipe 🌼

Gosh I love bread pudding and that sauce sounds fantastic Phyllis. I am craving some of that. Hope you enjoyed it very much. HUGS

This is the top drawer...it was so good people didn’t believe that I made it Really good

mrs. phyllis is really helping me today. i came out to my grandmother and she said she doesnt want to talk to me because she cant love someone like me. but i keep watching these videos and it feels like phyllis is my own grandmother figure who loves me unconditionally, and gives me wonderful food to help me feel better : )

MRS. PHYLLIS, PLEASE WRITE A COOKBOOK & SELL IT !!! I WILL BE THE FIRST TO PURCHASE IT ! DIANE

WOW!!! She knocked it out of the park on this one. Rest in peace Phyllis.

Mother's Day Special here. Thank you for keeping these going. the Buttered Rum sauce starts at 11:10. and it really helps to sift the corn starch and sugar for a very smooth sauce. Delicious! God Bless

Made this today and I’m in love with this recipe. My husband said it’s probably the best bread pudding he’s ever had and he makes an excellent one himself. I used 2 cans evaporated milk and made up the difference to 4 cups with whole milk, substituted currants for the raisins because we like currants better and didn’t add the rum to the pudding but made the sauce as directed. This recipe is definitely a keeper and I don’t see me using any other from now on. Thanks so much for sharing!

Years ago I had a bread pudding with a rum sauce and to this day it sticks in my memory, but I could never remember where I was, I believe that this would be very much like the one I had because the sauce was the color of your sauce. I have had other restaurants serve bread pudding with a butter rum sauce but always falling short in the attempt, perhaps its because I have never tried it in the New Orleans area. Thanks for sharing

Phyllis I know it's been some time since God called you home, but how I miss your videos. I am so thankful I can still see these recipe videos. You made all your videos feel like I was at home, welcomed, filled with warmth and lots of love! May you rest in eternal peace.

Oh Phyllis my dear girl....indeed, another viewer chose perfect word for this, your "Legacy".....all this made possible by your dear & precious son, Steven❤❤ How I love finding yet another recipe of yours, taught to us in your kind, soft spoken manner❤ I too love bread pudding! Never tried the rum addition...but I will, for certain! God Bless and keep you safe, and your family also dear Steven👋💗

Miss Phyllis I was thinking about you & so I started binge watching your videos. I pray your health is on the mend. Much love & blessings friend. You are missed.🙏🙏

Hi bina2one, I put the bread pudding and the sauce in the frig yesterday. I could not wait to get home from church today to have more of the bread pudding and the sauce. While I was getting our lunch ready I just took the sauce and pudding out of the frig and popped them in the oven for about 20 minutes to warm it up. It might have been better today than it was yesterday. We've got 4 servings left and I can tell you I'm guarding the frig against invaders that might take my share. Phyllis

Dear Phyllis I miss you I needed this receipt. I know my tears are for me but you were like a friend I’ve never found in life. I thank your son for keeping your receipts available to you fans. Thank you God for her blessings through food.✝️🛐💟 🌵your friend from Arizona

I made this recipe today and it was spectacular! I tried adding the pecans, and Phyllis was right. Even though I LOVE nuts, it's best with just raisons.

This is absolutely magical! I tried it today and had to comment. Wow, spectacular. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

Can't wait to try. And you voice is so soothing. ..lol

Just made this Bread Pudding for cards tonight, Two weeks ago I made that 1950 Lime dessert and Now I'm really in trouble. They voted and said I am now in charge of desserts every week! I normally cook every other week for cards. Oh my gosh this Bread Pudding is so awesome and thank you for sharing all these recipes with us. I know your in heaven looking down smiling.

I love this lady! So easy to follow her recipes & such a calm demeanor! I know that she is no longer with us, but am so very glad that she left us her videos & recipes. Thanks to her family for continuing to post her things!

Rest In Peace Miss Phyllis! I will miss your videos, stories and recipes! You have touched a lot of people. God Bless You!

Hello Phyllis...I must tell you how exceptionally good my first batch of your RUM bread pudding turned out. It was delicious! I had not had bread pudding in forever, mainly because not a lot of restaurants offer it and those that do do a below average job of it in my opinion. I had forgotten you said it does not freeze well and I froze some. Well, both the sauce and the pudding was still pretty darn good even after being frozen. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

Ms. Phyllis You are so sweet and so calming and a precious treasure to all who are graced by your presence!!! Please keep making videos, about life, cooking and telling of your stories of growing up!!! You really could make a cookbook and sell, because you have authentic, tried and true recipes, some of which have been lost to time, and/or changed so not as we remember our Moms and/or Grandmothers made, so, they would definitely sale!!! You can do them on computer or tablet as an electronic file and then sale them on amazon and Barnes and Noble and other E-platforms. This would mean, unless you wanted to do print, you wouldn't need a publisher that would take some of your profits which would cause you to loose a portion of your sales to a publisher!!! You would also have the option of doing 2 books, 1 cookbook and 1 with stories of growing up, or you could combine the cookbook and stories into one book!!! Much love, blessings and the grace of GOD unto you and yours!!!!

Well, I'm watching Ms. Phyllis again and I sure do miss her. She was such a lovely lady. Thanks so much to her son for keeping her channel running. Many Blessings.

I have this in the oven right now. That's the reason I was here last week, to see what I needed to get at the store. I think it will be great for lunch today, nice and chilled. I want to enjoy some of it all to myself before I have friends over tomorrow. I really enjoy watching your videos while waiting for the recipe to bake. It also keeps me from falling asleep and burning the house down when baking late at night because it is too hot during the day to use the oven.

Thank you for sharing this amazingly delicious recipe. It is always a big hit on every occasions. God bless her soul and her family❤

I miss Ms. Phyllis so so very much. Her voice was so soothing... And the food was sooo good.

RIP, Ms. Phyllis. You seemed like a sweet lady and you will be missed. Condolences and blessings to the family. Just wanted to say, I discovered this recipe a couple years ago and we loved it! I'm making it for Father's Day tomorrow because my husband loves bread pudding! I'm so glad she shared it with everyone.

I just love you Phyllis, when we all join you in cooking, its like a bunch of good friends getting together !! Thank you so much for your videos..

Wow !! You are absolutely wonderful. Remind me of all the famous chefs in my Fathers Texas family and my Mother and her sisters. Down home, unadulterated, nutritious food just like I grew up with. Thank you Phyllis.

ive been using this recipe for years now, everyone that tries it loves it, i use a lot more rum on the rum sauce because im a lush...lol i also soak my raisins in rum for about a week best recipe ever, eveytime i make it i say okay Phyllis bless this bread pudding for me wish i couldve met you in person.

Thank you for keeping her memory alive. I miss her. I love cooking with her recipes.

Thank you soooo much for your time and effort to make this recipe for us !!! It was divine!!! 🎊💥 I tried and everyone loved it !!! I only substitute the milk for all half and half and use the ball nutmeg instead of pulverized. I use rum just like you said and oooooh my Lord !!! Thank you so much.. Got your self a new subscriber !!! 100000 👍👍

Thank you for this video. My mom was from New Iberia LA. She made bread PUDDING when I was little (she died when I was 12 so I never knew how to fix it). Ever since then I have only found 2 places that I have ordered it that it was like my mom's. I have learned to ask "do you cut it with a knife or spoon it up". Needless to say I get quite a few strange looks. I was so pleased to see you spoon it up showing it was moist and then the sauce. My mom did use whiskey sauce, but I bet the rum and molasses is just as good. I will be definitely trying yours. Again thank you.

May your precious soul rest in peace♡ may you and Mr.Bucky be reunited and hold each other for all of eternity... I love you Mrs.Phyllis

I love bread pudding. I bake a lot of bread & had a loaf of rum raisin bread. I substituted that for French. I also covered it with foil & baked slow for an hour. Thanks for that tip. Nice & moist.

I would love a cookbook with all your recipes but I really enjoy the hands on videos.

My husband has been asking me to make him a bread pudding, i never have. He wants a moist bread pudding and this one looks perfect. Thank you for sharing

I made this recipe three times and made your way the first time. It turned out wonderful !!! Nothing I cook/burn turns out. The next I modified the recipe a little the next two times in a water bath. Not a huge difference in taste. I also tear my French bread into small chunks and dry the chunks in the oven for an additional amount of time. YOUR RECIPE is excellent as is. I would recommend it to anyone!

I miss listening to the neet little stories she had to tell while making her different recipes, she was so easy to listen to. To her son thank you for keeping her close to our hearts.❤

My favorite. Nobody makes it anymore though. All the home cooks are just about all gone now. Thanks for sharing.

Mace is actually the covering of the nutmeg - they taste quite similar, except Mace is more delicate and nutmeg is sweeter. I love, love, love bread pudding and this sounds heavenly.

Oooohhh how i miss this angel😢 ..i'm so grateful for her delicious & simple recipes & special thanks to her son for keeping her alive sharing all of the Beautiful post & wonderful memories Rest in eternal Paradise ....Sweet angel 😇 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I did mine like hers today...i used raisin bread & Italian bread & 6 mini munchkins...OMG! & FOLLOWED HER SAUCE RECIPE....UUUGHH MY GOODNESS...MAY SHE REST IN BAKN HEAVEN😘😘😘IT WAS SO GOOD...

I made Rum balls for Christmas and New Years. I somehow managed the willpower to save some Rum for this recipe. I am making this recipe today! It is nearly torture every time I watch this video, especially when you taste the pudding at the end. I love the taste Rum gives to baked goods and sweet foods. As I'm not much of a drinker, I only recently discovered how great Rum is for baking, so I can already see myself making this pudding again and again and again. Thank you!

Hi Phyllis, I made this Bread Pudding today and I must say it was fantastic! I had never tried making Bread Pudding before but I have a close friend who had Cancer in her jaw bone and has problems eating anything that isn't really super soft so I made this for her and she loved it. Thanks so much for this video, you made me and my friend very happy tonight. I substituted whipping cream for the half n half and used sweetened condensed milk (and cut down on the sugar you used) in the rum sauce and it was all great! I just had to use what I had in the pantry. lol

I enjoyed watching this video of Phyllis making her Bread Pudding. I so enjoyed watching her create the meals and foods she prepared. I could watch her all day. She was such a sweet Soul. She is now resting in peace with her Lord.

Thank you for your recipe. I'm making it for my family today. You had it right, slaves would be the correct term for the indentured servants that made these recipes possible. Honoring them today. 💗

Hey there Phyllis! I just wanted to let you know that I made your bread pudding for my daughter's wedding breakfast. Holy cow, it was phenomenal and everyone just loved it! The only thing that I did differently was that I added a little cinnamon and I forgot to put the molasses in the rum for the sauce. Oh, I took it out of the cabinet alright, but I just forgot to add it. The next time I make this, I'll be sure to add it. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes and your stories.

I don't usually do bread or rice pudding, but the way you just did it makes it look so good I'll have to try it. Thanks so much!

Her bread pudding looks better than anyone's I've seen. I'm going to make it. I loved her recipes. She was such a sweet lady

How I wish you could pass that pudding through the phone! LOL! I would be so happy

I watched a lot of different videos before attempting my first bread pudding. This is the best of them. Thanks for very clear, easy to understand directions. The result is perfect.

That bread pudding looks heavenly. I can't wait to try it. Thank you Ms. Phyllis for sharing your recipe.

Will continue to watch her videos as long as they are here. She was such a joy to follow for great recipes. Wish she was here still.

I just miss you so much, Ms. Phyllis, so I am making this pudding tonight to honor your memory and your talent as a great cook. ((Hugs to your family))

Thanks for the Best bread pudding recipe and the History Lesson.

I'm really not into raisins, I plan to add dried sweetened cranberries instead. I've had bread pudding with mixed berries before and they really worked. Ok, made this recipe for a party last night. One of the best bread puddings ever, but it is so rich that a little goes a long way! For anyone wanting to make this one, don't be afraid to lighten it up a little, maybe whole milk instead of half and half, maybe one less egg or a little less sugar because this is also a bit on the sweet side. You can also add more bread as there's a lot of custard base. The cranberries add a nice tartness though! The rum sauce is really nice!

Phyllis was one in a million , a sweet lady ,,and we miss her.

Tonight I decided to go back through all your recipes I am binging your recipes tonight not feeling good so this is what I’m doing I did not see this recipe off several other way I feel blessed family recipes from you, I’m so sad that you’re gone but happy that you are not in anymore pain because I know I seen the pain in your face how much you hurt, whenever I had a bad night I could just listen to your Soothing voice! I miss you dear Phyllis

Thank you so much, Phyllis. I grew up eating bread pudding made from leftover ends of Wonder Bread in the 60's. No sauce. I liked it both warm or cold. I was shocked when I learned that many used a sauce with it! Well...I'm just gonna have to try your recipe - and soon! Thanks again :)

Love your recipe...just so easy! And old-fashioned...like Mama’s! Thank you sooo much, Phyllis, keep ‘em coming!

I just made this and used another whiskey for the sauce and man alive it was so good it would make a puppet pull a fraight train. Wow loved it.

So happy this video is still up. I only use Phyllis' recipe or bread pudding and needed this again. Thanks.

This look awesome! I didn't even know that you can make pudding out of bread until a coworker showed up with a casserole of it and it got devour in seconds. Will try this recipe when I have a day off and some rum.

hey Phyllis. Love your cooking clips. They are a realistic take on how meals are really prepared in America's homes. I buy the day old donuts that Wal-Mart puts on the discount shelves, then I make bread pudding with it.

I miss you, Ms. Phyllis, but it makes me so happy to come here and have you cook with me when I need some motherly direction. 💜 Now let's make your bread pudding!

I'm making this for Christmas, too!!! 🤗 I'm quite in the Xmas spirit! 🤩
