Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

By

Use Bird's Custard Sauce instead of this topping. Also, I've increased liquid, eggs vanilla & sugar bc the pudding comes out dry & I want it moist.

Ingredients

  • Sauce Ingredients:
  • 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 3-4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten

Directions for Pudding:

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine bread and raisins in large bowl. Combine milk and 1/2 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted (4 to 7 minutes). Pour milk mixture over bread; let stand 10 minutes.
Stir in all remaining pudding ingredients. Pour into greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until set in center.
