Prep: 10 min; Bake: 45 min
Almost any bread can be used to make bread pudding, but firm breads will bake up the best. And those with a slightly softer crust, rather than a very crisp crust, work well.
2 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
5 cups 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes French bread or other firm bread (8 ounces)
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
Whiskey Sauce: see recipe
Whiskey Sauce:
1/2 cup butter or stick margarine, melted
2 tablespoons water
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons whiskey or bourbon or 1 teaspoon brandy extract
1. Heat oven to 350°.
2. Mix milk, sugar, cinnamon and eggs in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in bread cubes and raisins. Pour into ungreased 1 1/2-quart casserole.
3. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge of casserole comes out clean.
4. Make Whiskey Sauce. Serve sauce over warm bread pudding. Store remaining dessert and sauce covered in refrigerator.
