How to Make Bread Pudding And Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raisins and 1/4 cup brandy. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter and the raisin mixture.
  5. Gently fold in 6 cups cubed day-old bread. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Whisk in 1/2 cup cold water until smooth.
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil (about 2 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon brandy.
  12. Serve the warm bread pudding topped generously with the whiskey sauce. Enjoy!
