easycook.com~Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

Stale bread meets its salvation when it is baked with
raisins and vanilla in an egg-rich custard.

Bread Pudding:

1    (1-pound) loaf Freach bread
          or sliced white bread
1    quart milk
3   large eggs, beaten lightly
1½ cups sugar
1    cup raisins
2   tablespoons vanilla extract
3   tablespoons butter
          or margarine melted.

To make pudding:
1.   Break the bread into pieces and put in a bowl. Add the milk and
     let soak 10 minutes, hand crush until blended. Add the eggs and
     next 3 ingredients.
2. Pour the butter into a greased 13"x9"x2" pan. Spoon the bread
     mixture into the pan; bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour to 1 hour
     and 15 minutes or until the pudding is very firm.

Whiskey Sauce:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons whiskey

To make whiskey sauce:
1.   In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and half-and half. Cook over
     medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
2. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
     Let cool and add the whiskey. To serve, spoon the Whiskey Sauce over
     each serving.

Yield: 12 to 15 servings.
