Ingredients
Bread Pudding:
-
3 cups whole milk
-
1 ½ cups white sugar
-
¼ cup butter, melted
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
10 slices hearty farmhouse-style bread, toasted and cut into cubes
-
1 cup raisins
Vanilla Sauce:
-
1 ¼ cups whole milk
-
½ cup light brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1 egg
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 pinch ground cinnamon
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
-
For bread pudding, whisk together milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Gently stir in bread cubes and raisins. Lightly spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes; cover the dish with foil after 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
-
For vanilla sauce, whisk together milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a heavy saucepan until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
Pour sauce over warm bread pudding or serve on the side in a bowl.
