How To Make bread pudding with brandy sauce

  • Step 1
    Heat overn to 350. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs,nutmeg,cinnamon,vanilla and salt. Mix together thoroughly.
  • Step 2
    Mold in 1/4 cup of raisins. Add bread crumbs and stir in liquid so the bread soaks up some of the liquid. Let stand for 5 minutes. Pour into a greased baking dish (I used a casserole dish) Top with remaining raisins and press into bread. Let stand 20 more minutes.
  • Step 3
    Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. While its baking make the sauce by slowly melting the butter and sugar together. Add a beaten egg and whisk together. Remove from heat and add brandy. Mix thoroughly. Pour on top pudding and serve. Great with a scoop of ice cream on top.
