Grandma's Bread Pudding

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 2

Slice bread into 1 inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour cream and milk over the cubed bread.

Step 3

Toss the bread mixture until the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Beat until smooth, then pour over the bread mixture.

Step 5

Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Bake until golden brown and crispy on top, about 45-50 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pudding from oven and let cool to room temperature while making the sauce.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, heat butter until fully melted.

Step 9

Add sugar and egg while stirring.

Step 10

Continue to cook over low heat while stirring constantly. Once sauce thickens enough to coat the spoon, remove from heat.

Step 11

Stir in bourbon. Sauce may separate if not served right away. If so, whisk before serving.

Step 12

Pour sauce over sliced pudding.
