This recipe I got from my Dad he was an excellent cook. He would make bread pudding mostly in the Autumn and Winter for Sunday's dinner desert.

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 lb loaf of french bread (1 whole medium or 3/4ths an extra long loaf)

  • 4. WHISKEY SAUCE: 1 stick of unsalted butter, 1/4 c. of suguare, 1/2 c. of milk, 1 tbsp of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of rum or rum flavoring or to taste (can omit). Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk all other ingredients in except the vanila and whiskey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
