COMMANDER'S PALACE BREAD PUDDING image

Yield 4-6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter (unsalted and softened)
1 cup sugar
dash cinnamon
1 tbsp vanilla
12 slices stale french bread, 1 inch thick
5 eggs beaten
1 pint heavy cream
1/3 cup raisins

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat thoroughly until combined. Stir in raisins. Pour into 9" square baking pan. Place bread slice flat in pan for 5 minutes to soak up some of the liquid. Turn bread over and let stand 10 minutes longer. Push bread down so most is submerged. Don't break up slices. Set pan in larger pan and pour in enough water to reach within 1/2 of top of inner pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake 35 minutes, uncover and bake 10 minutes longer until top of pudding is browned and pudding is still soft. Spoon onto plates and pass with whiskey sauce.
