Step 1
Pudding:
Butter a 9-by-13 inch baking pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Break the French bread into chunks, place them in a bowl and pour the milk. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until mixture is smooth and thick. Stir in raisins, coconut and vanilla and pour over bread mixture, stirring until well-combined. Pour into the buttered baking dish, smooth the top and place the dish in a large, shallow roasting pan. Pour water into the roasting pan to a depth of about an inch. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour.
Whiskey Sauce:
Melt butter in a top of a double boiler:
In a separate bowl, stir sugar and egg together; then add the mixture to the butter in the double boiler. Stir for 3 minutes, until the sugar dissolves, over medium heat , but do not let the sauce boil.
Remove from heat and allow cool; then stir in the bourbon. Spoon some of the sauce over each serving of the warm bread pudding.
