Ingredients: Waffles

2 cups gluten-free flour

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

2 cups lactose-free milk

2 eggs, at room temperature

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon orange zest

1/4 cup currents (or raising roughly chopped)

Maple syrup and melted butter for serving

Ingredients: Orange Glaze

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon orange juice

1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg (optional)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Melt the butter, chop the raisins (if using), and zest the orange.

(2) Combine dry ingredients: Put flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

(3) Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla together.

(4) Blend the batter: Pour the blended wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Fold in the chopped raisins and orange zest. There’s no need to get all the lumps out.

Make-ahead note: At this point, you can let the batter rest while you preheat the waffle iron, or you can cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for a day or so until you’re ready to cook the waffles. Bring the batter to room temperature before cooking the waffles so the batter will pour. Add additional milk or melted butter if the batter is too thick after chilling.

(5) Cook the waffles: Once your waffle iron is heated, ladle an equal amount in each segment of the waffle iron. Cook until crisp but not burned. Remove from the waffle to a cooling rack to keep it crisp.

(6) Plate and serve: Serve warm with a drizzle of warm syrup, melted butter, and orange glaze. Top with a sprinkle of grated nutmeg.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Perfect Angel Food Cake (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 40 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 8

Thought you would never be able to enjoy Angel Food Cake while following a gluten-free diet? Think again and embrace the joy of having your cake and eating it too! Indulge in my Perfect Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake that captures the light and airy essence of the classic, but completely gluten-free. This cake is not only delicious, it's a testament to gluten-free desserts that can be just as light and delicious as the original. The secret lies in the seamless blend of gluten-free flour alternatives, ensuring a light and tender crumb that satisfies even the most discerning Angel Food Cake enthusiast.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups egg whites from 10-11 large eggs

1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

1/2 cup GF Jules gluten-free baking flour

3/4 cup powdered sugar

3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons superfine baking sugar (or granulated sugar that has been pulsed in the food processor a few times)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

(1) Prepare: Separate the egg whites and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, cornstarch, and powdered sugar together until well blended, about 30 seconds. Set aside in a bowl. Put the granulated sugar in the bowl of your food processor and pulse the sugar about 5-7 times. You don't want to turn it into powdered sugar, just a little finer than it normally is. Set aside.

(2) Beat the egg whites: Place the egg whites in the clean bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment, beat on high until the egg whites start to foam, then add the salt and cream of tartar and whip a few more seconds to combine. Add the vanilla and almond extract and continue whipping on high speed for another 30 seconds.

(3) Add the sugar: Add the granulated sugar slowly, about 1 tablespoon at a time to the egg whites while they are whipping. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. (Remove the whisk attachment and lift it out of the mixture—if the peaks left behind stay standing, you have reached “stiff peak” stage.)

(4) Add the dry ingredients: Slowly fold in the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time with a spatula. Do this carefully and slowly so you don't deflate the egg whites. (This is the key to light and airy angel food cake.) Scoop into an ungreased 10-inch tube or round cake pan.

(5) Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes until lightly golden. Immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack when you remove it from the oven. Cool completely then run a knife along the edges of the pan and carefully plate the cake.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 9 Hours cook/chill • Low FODMAP • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

This Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake has the perfect harmony of rich creaminess and just the right amount of sweetness. The velvety texture of cream cheese blends seamlessly with the tangy flavor of sour cream, creating a truly delicious filling that sits atop a buttery graham cracker crust. Whether you're entertaining guests or simply treating yourself, this Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake is a perfect choice because it’s easy to make, you can make it ahead of time, and it’s low FODMAP so everyone at the table can enjoy it.

Ingredients: Crust

1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham crackers (about 1 sleeve), ground into crumbs

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Ingredients: Cheesecake

16 ounces lactose-free cream cheese, at room temperature

16 ounces lactose-free sour cream, at room temperature

1 cup superfine white sugar (you can also use granulated sugar and be sure to blend very well)

3 eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste or any other flavoring of your choice

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs to room temperature. Melt the butter.

(2) Make the graham cracker crumbs: In the bowl of your food processor, add the graham crackers. Pulse on and off until all crackers have turned to crumbs. You can also do this by putting the graham crackers in a ziploc bag and using a rolling pin or heave glass to crunch them up.

(3) Make the crust: Drizzle the melted butter over the cracker crumbs in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until all crumbs and butter are combined. You can also combine butter and crumbs in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour the crumbs into the bottom of a 7 - 9-inch springform pan and pat them with your fingers to make an even layer or make it slightly thicker at the edges if you prefer.

(4) Bake the crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust has dried out and begins to brown just a bit. Remove from the oven and set aside.

(5) Make the filling: In the bowl of your food processor or stand mixer, combine cream cheese and sour cream and blend until completely smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and blend well but don’t whip air into the mixture. Scrape down the sides to ensure all sugar and eggs are blended into the cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the pan gently so as not to disturb the crumb crust.

(6) Bake: Put in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven. Don’t open the oven door. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for one hour. Remove and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (more is fine).

(7) Plate and serve: Run a knife around the edge of the pan and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cake and serve with fresh berries or your favorite topping.

Super Easy Holiday Leftover Turkey Pie (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 - 6 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

Turn your holiday leftovers into a new meal by baking them into a savory pie. You’ll have all your favorite holiday flavors combined into one scrumptious, easy-to-make pie. You can even use a frozen gluten-free butter crust as I did here to make this savory pie in a snap! Also, you can easily modify this recipe and use turkey only, or turkey and stuffing only, or whatever you have left over. You can even add cooked greens such as spinach or mushrooms (just make sure you cook them before you put them in the pie so they don’t give off too much moisture). The thyme/sage eggs, milk, and cheese bring it all together so don’t worry if you don’t have ALL the leftovers. It will still be delicious!

Ingredients

1 butter pie crust (frozen gluten-free butter crust, or Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free pie crust mix, or my perfect buttery pate brisee crust)

1 pound chopped turkey meat (no skin)

2 cups mashed potatoes (optional)

2 cups cooked stuffing (optional)

1 - 2 cups grated gruyere or sharp cheddar cheese (or some of each)

5 eggs + 1 egg white

2 cups lactose-free whole milk (or lactose-free 2% milk or half and half)

1 teaspoon dry thyme

½ teaspoon dry sage

1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Cranberry sauce and my Great Gravy for serving (optional)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Prepare your pie crust and place in an 8 - 9-inch pie pan and place in the freezer until ready to fill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Chop the turkey.

(2) Fill the crust: When ready to fill, remove the crust from the freezer and brush inside the bottom of the crust with egg white. Arrange chopped turkey in an even layer over the bottom of the crust. Spread an even layer of stuffing and then an even layer of mashed potatoes over the turkey. Spread the cheese over the mashed potatoes.

(3) Add the egg mixture: Beat the eggs, milk, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the pie. If there’s not enough liquid to just cover the ingredients in the crust, beat another egg in ½ cup of milk and add it in.

(4) Bake: Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F and then turn down to 350 degrees F and cook for another 25 minutes or until golden brown and the egg mixture isn’t jiggly anymore.

(5) Plate and serve: Let the pie stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with cranberry sauce and gravy on the side (both optional as it’s delicious without them too.)

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt.

S’mores Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting (low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Makes 12 - 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

There’s something about cupcakes that is just fun! Add to that the pleasure of s’mores and these cupcakes take the fun (and deliciousness) to a whole new level! It’s the combination of everything you love about s’mores (chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers) but without the sand or the sticky fingers. These are best served soon after they come out of the oven so you can make the cupcakes ahead, but save the frosting and the finishing for the last hour before serving. Make them for a party or you might be tempted to eat them all yourself! I used a good gluten-free chocolate cake mix for the cupcakes in this recipe to keep it simple — since the frosting is a little more elaborate. Of course, you can make the cake from scratch if you prefer!

Ingredients: Chocolate Cupcakes

1 King Arthur Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix

2/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1 1/3 cups water

4 large eggs

Ingredients: Swiss Meringue Frosting

3 large egg whites

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup (not high-fructose corn syrup)

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ingredients: Topping

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1/2 cup gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Directions: Cupcakes

(1) Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put cupcake liners (I like these parchment tulip liners) into two cupcake pans that make 12 cupcakes each (for a total of 24).

(2) Melt the coconut oil: In the microwave, melt the coconut oil until it’s pourable but not hot.

(3) Blend the batter: Beat the eggs together with the melted coconut oil and water. Stir in the cake mix and keep stirring until well blended.

(4) Bake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared cupcake pans. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Directions: Frosting and Finishing

(5) Prepare the meringue for the frosting: Add the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar, salt, and water to the bowl of a stand mixer and place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water over medium heat. Do not allow the bottom of the mixing bowl to touch the water.

(6) Heat and blend the mixture: Continuously, but gently, stir the mixture until the egg whites are very warm to the touch and the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Test this by dipping a finger into the mixture and rubbing it between your fingers—the mixture should no longer have any grains of sugar in it and should be very warm to the touch. Remove the bowl from the heat and place the bowl on the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

(7) Beat the egg white mixture: Beat the meringue on medium-low speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually increase the speed and beat until you achieve a stiff peak in the mixture that droops only slightly when you lift up the whisk, and the bottom and sides of the bowl no longer feel warm to the touch, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat for a few seconds to mix it in.

(8) Frost the cupcakes: Use a spoon, spatula, or broad knife to generously frost each cupcake. Make one big swirl or many little “points” in the meringue with your knife as you frost.

(9) Brown the frosting: Lightly brown the frosting using a kitchen torch or by placing the frosted cupcakes under the broiler briefly, until browned. Watch them carefully (just like roasting a marshmallow) so they don’t burn!

(10) Finish: Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave. Crumble the graham crackers into crumbs. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, drizzle with the melted chocolate, and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs (so they cling to the melted chocolate).

(11) Plate and serve: The frosted cupcakes are best served within a few hours, as the frosting will start to lose its structure over time, but any leftovers will keep on the counter lightly covered for up to 1 day.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Preacher cookies were so named because they could be quickly made when the Preacher stopped by for an unexpected visit. Maybe a little old-fashioned, they are a sweet and chewy cookie that can be whipped up in a jiffy. And, if it’s too hot to turn on the oven and you want to make a batch of cookies—these are a great choice! I made them with oats and coconut, but you could switch it up and make them with oats and peanut butter instead. Either way, they’re delicious.

Banana Walnut Mixed Spice Waffles (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Makes 8 Belgian waffle squares • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

Mixed spice is a blend of spices that’s similar to gingerbread spice—but not the same thing at all! The unique flavor in this blend is a part of many traditional British recipes including Christmas desserts, cakes, pies, and baked goods. Mixed spice includes a balance of some or all of the following dry spices: cinnamon, coriander seed, caraway, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, and mace. For this recipe, I omitted the caraway and mace (simply because I didn’t have them on hand) and the waffles came out wonderfully! The combination of bananas, walnuts, maple syrup, and delightfully spiced waffles is a must-try!

Jan’s Amazing Cranberry Almond Biscotti (Low FODMAP)

30 Minutes prep • 90 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Makes 20 - 24 • Serving Size: 2 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-10

When my client, who is an amazing cook, said her biscotti recipe wasn’t working well when she swapped in gluten-free flour, I asked her to share the recipe so I could give it a go. I added a bit more fat and tweaked a few other things and the result is a delicious gluten-free biscotti that honors the original recipe. These biscotti are crisp and light, and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, or all alone! The almonds, cranberries, and lemon zest provide flavor and texture that are really special. If you’re a fan of biscotti, I recommend giving Jan's Amazing biscotti a try.

Or, pack them in your bag for a quick breakfast or lunch on the go. They remind me of Christmas and skiing and they taste wonderfully good.

Baked Blueberry French Toast (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • Overnight rest • 40 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Serves 6 - 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

My sister shared this recipe with me many years ago and it has been a special breakfast favorite for our families ever since. I made a few changes for this low FODMAP version but it hasn’t lost a bit of its deliciousness! This baked blueberry French toast is so easy to make and so delicious, it will surely become a family favorite for you too. The eggs, bread, berries, and caramel topping blend perfectly together in one pan so there’s no need to add syrup or anything at all. And, because you let it sit overnight before cooking it, you’ll be free to enjoy the morning with the family instead of spending time in the kitchen. You can use fresh or frozen berries so don’t wait until blueberries are in season to enjoy this recipe. I like to buy fresh blueberries (when they’re in season), wash them and let them dry, then freeze them so I have perfect berries on hand when I need them.

Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 60 minutes rise/cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Makes 12

Browned butter caramel cream cheese icing and a sprinkling of fresh nutmeg give these classic cinnamon rolls a christmasy twist that is quite delicious. They are soft and cinnamony on the inside just like you want a cinnamon roll to be. Best eaten when hot out of the oven, they are also delicious when reheated in the microwave.

Ingredients: Dough

1 cup warm lactose-free whole milk (no warmer than 110 degrees F)

2 1/4 teaspoons (one packet) active dry yeast

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature

3 large eggs

2 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups gf Jules gluten free flour

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract

Ingredients: Filling

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions

(1) Prepare: Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and then turn it OFF and leave the door closed. Prepare the filling by mixing the sugars together and melting the butter. Make the caramel sauce for the icing (if you’re not using store-bought sauce).

(2) Prove the yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes until it begins to froth (indicating the yeast is properly active).

(3) Blend the dough: Add the butter, eggs, 3 1/2 - 4 cups of the flour, vanilla, and salt to the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Blend for about 2 - 3 minutes. If the dough is quite sticky, add an additional 1/4 cup of flour.

Note: Do not allow the dough to rest after mixing, just begin the process of rolling it out right away. (You want all the rising to be done in the shape of rolls).

(4) Roll out the dough: Flour your rolling surface evenly and scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the floured board. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and press out with your hands into a rectangular shape. Roll the dough to approximately 12 x 16 inches, adding extra flour if it’s sticking to the rolling pin.

(5) Add the filling: Brush on the melted butter, making sure to get it right up to the edges of the rolled dough, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly across the buttered dough.

(6) Shape the dough: On the long side of the dough rectangle, start rolling it into a spiraled log, using a bench scraper to help unstick the dough if it sticks to the board.

(7) Cut and rise the rolls: Once you have it all rolled up, use a kitchen shears or sharp knife to cut the log into 12 even slices (don’t worry if the slices on the end of the roll are smaller than the others. Put them in the pan evenly spaced and cover loosely with a piece of parchment paper. Put the pan in the warm oven (that has been turned OFF) and let rise for 30 minutes and then remove from the oven.

(8) Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the oven is hot and the rising is complete, put the pan of cinnamon rolls in the oven and cook for 25 - 30 minutes until they start to brown on top and the dough is cooked through.

(9) Make the icing: Meanwhile make the icing.

(10) Finish: Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before icing. Then ice the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle very lightly with fresh-grated nutmeg.

(11) Plate and serve: Serve warm and eat fresh!

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Ingredients: Icing

4 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature

4 ounces lactose-free cream cheese, at room temperature

1/4 cup salted caramel sauce (recipe below, or use store-bought)

2-3 cups powdered sugar, sifted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions: Icing

(1) Combine butter and cream cheese: In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the butter and cream cheese. Whip until combined (about 1 minute).

(2) Add caramel: Add the caramel sauce and vanilla. Mix until combined.

(3) Add sugar and finish: Add about half the powdered sugar and blend to combined. Add the rest of the powdered sugar, scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl, and blend until fully combined.

Ingredients: Salted Caramel Sauce

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon light corn syrup*

1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed

2 tablespoons salted butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

Directions: Salted Caramel Sauce

(1) Make the syrup: In a 3-4-quart heavy saucepan stir together sugar, water, and light corn syrup brushing any sugar crystals off the side of the pan into the liquid. Heat to boiling on medium-high without stirring, about 3 minutes. Boil until dark amber (320 degrees F to 345 degrees F on a candy thermometer), about 9 minutes.

(2) Add the cream: Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream (the hot caramel will steam and bubble up) and butter, stirring until smooth.

(3) Finish: Let caramel cool slightly. Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Let cool completely. Store at room temperature for up to 1 month or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave before serving.

*Recipe note: Please use Karo brand corn syrup, which contains no high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS is high in FODMAPS).

Santa’s Favorite Chewy Ginger Cookies (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Makes 36 • Serving size 2 cookies

I love good ginger cookies for the comforting spicey taste and amazing smell when you cook them. Chewy, sweet, and gingery, these cookies are definitely on Santa’s nice list. They are also easy to make and store well—so you can bake them ahead for the big day (or any day!) and put them out knowing they will still be Santa’s favorites!

Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks salted butter, at room temperature

1 1/4 cups light brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 large egg

1/3 cup blackstrap molasses

1 1 /2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, plus 1-2 tablespoons, if the dough is sticky

3/4 cup gf Jules gluten-free flour

1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar, for rolling

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place about 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small bowl.

(2) Cream butter and sugar: In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, on medium to high speed for about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg, and mix for about a minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl, to combine. Then, add the molasses and mix to combine.

(3) Add dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine and whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Then add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture in two batches, beating on low to medium speed until combined and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

(4) Shape the cookies: Scoop and roll the dough into tablespoon-size balls (if the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 additional tablespoons of gluten-free flour and stir to combine). Roll each ball of dough through the sugar to cover all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies at least 2 inches apart (I put 9 on a tray). Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are starting to crack across the center and set at the edges. If you cook both pans of cookies at the same time, swap the pans from top to bottom in the oven half way through cooking.

(5) Finish: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then you may transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

(6) Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Sweet Sourdough Bread Pudding with Buttery Hard Sauce (Low FODMAP)

45 Minutes prep • 30 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Serves 6 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

Good bread pudding is creamy and rich, with a lightness you can’t get from a traditional egg pudding. This bread pudding is no exception. It’s sweet and delicious, and the bread cubes hold their shape so the top layer even gets a bit of buttery crispness to it. The sauce adds yet another dimension of wonderful flavor so don’t skip it! (You can leave the liquor out if you like.) You will, of course, use sourdough bread in this recipe — which adds even more to the delicious complexity of the blended flavors.
