Instructions: Bread Pudding Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt; mix thoroughly. By hand, fold in 1/4 C raisins. Add French bread, already cut into cubes, and stir. Allow bread to stand in mixture for 5 minutes to soak up some of the liquid. Pour into a well-greased large shallow baking pan, and top with remaining 1/4 C raisins. Push raisins down into the bread, and push bread down so that most of it is covered by the egg mixture. Let bread stand for 20 more minutes. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whiskey sauce.

Sauce Directions: Melt butter and sugar in the top of a double boiler. Add beaten egg gradually, stirring with a wire whisk. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add bourbon and mix thoroughly. Pour warm sauce over pudding and serve.
