Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

This is THE BEST recipe for bread pudding EVER!

Ingredients

1 (1-pound) loaf French bread or sliced white bread, preferably stale (I use French baguette)

4 cups milk (I use 2%)

3 eggs, beaten slightly

1 cup raisins (I skip this)

1 1/2 cups sugar (I use 1 cup)

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

3 tablespoons butter, melted

WHISKEY SAUCE

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar (I use 3/4 cup)

1/2 cup half-and-half

2 tablespoons whiskey (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract)

Instructions

1

PUDDING: Break the bread into small chunks and put in a large bowl.

2

Add the milk and let soak about 10 minutes; crush with hands until blended.

3

Add eggs, sugar, raisins, and vanilla.

4

Place butter into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch dish and place into the preheating oven to melt. Once the butter is melted, spoon the pudding mixture over the butter.

5

Bake at 325 for about an hour or until pudding is very firm and lightly browned on top.

6

After pudding has cooled, pour whiskey sauce over the entire dish, or serve on the side.

7

SAUCE: Combine butter, sugar, and half-and-half in a heavy saucepan; cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

8

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

9

Remove from heat. Let cool, and add whiskey.

10

Pour over the pudding.
