This is a favorite recipe at home and at both of the companies my wife and I work for. We have to toss a coin to see who gets to bring the second pan that I make to work. I always make two because of how much sauce it makes.

Happy Cooking!!

AWESOME BREAD PUDDING

7 slices bread
1 cup cream or egg nog
4 eggs, well beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter (top with before baking)
1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon (it’s best not to use all the mixture, cover to taste.)
FOR THE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large can evaporated milk* **
1/2 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
*I use 1 pint half-and-half.
**for a richer sauce use condensed milk

TO PREPARE THE PUDDING:
Break bread in large pieces, place in baking dish. Combine all ingredients and pour over the bread. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over top. Dot with butter.

This is best served warm.

TO PREPARE THE SAUCE:
