When we went out to eat, bread pudding was my choice dessert. I eventually found out how it was made and have enjoyed making, eating and serving it since.

Ingredients

2 slices white bread, cubed
2 tablespoons raisins
1 egg
1/2 cup evaporated milk
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
BUTTER SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional

Directions

Divide bread cubes and raisins between two greased 8-oz. ramekins or custard cups.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, water, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour over bread mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the sugar, egg yolk and water. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in bourbon if desired. Serve warm with bread pudding.
