Linda's Notes:

Delicious! Like a warm hug!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This bread pudding is perfectly light and fluffy while still remaining warm and hearty. The bourbon sauce is just right - far from overpowering - so don't be deterred! Have a second helping for me.

Directions

Tear bread in pieces and soak in milk at least one hour. Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla. Add to bread mixture. Stir in Raisins.

Melt 3 Tablespoons butter in oblong baking dish. Pour pudding into dish and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool then cut into serving cubes and place in bowls. Top with Bourbon Sauce

Bourbon Sauce:
In a saucepan, mix 1 Cup Sugar, 1 Stick Butter, 1 egg beaten and 3 Tablespoons Bourbon. Cook on low heat until sugar has dissolved stirring constantly.

This one caught my attention! I probably gained 2 lbs. reading the recipe, but I truly have to try this. Sounds like another favorite "comfort food" in the making!

I LOVE BREAD PUDDING WITH RUM SAUCE AND ALSO WITH LEMON SAUCE, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT I DON'T LIKE USING ALCOHOLIC DRINKS IN MY RECCEIPS. I JUST USE THE RUM FLAVORING IN MINE AND IT COMES OUT SOOOO GOOD.
