Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb 16 ounce, loaf of sliced white bread - cubed
4 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
3 c milk
1 c heavy cream
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, sliced into pats
cinnamon for sprinkling on top
VANILLA SAUCE
1 c boiling water
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray. The deeper dish the better. Break bread into pieces or cube and place into prepared pan.
2. Beat sugar, eggs and milk and cream.
3. Pour over the cubed bread, pushing the bread down into the milk mixture, making sure all is covered.
4. Sprinkle with a generous amount of cinnamon.
5. Dot with pats of butter.
6. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, or until a pick comes out clean and pudding is set. You many want to place some foil on stove bottom. Sometimes mine has leaked and made a smoky mess...
7. While baking...make your vanilla sauce. Don't skip this, as it is to die for... In a bowl, mix the corn starch with the sugar.
8. In a medium sauce pan, add the 1 cup of water, bring to a boil. Whisk in the sugar mixture and stir until thickened.
9. Turn off burner or remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
10. Stir until butter is melted.
11. Serve this delicious sauce over the warm bread pudding...absolutely delish!!! I usually serve with a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
