Instructions: Custard Mix: Blend eggs, salt and sugar lightly with wire whisk. Add vanilla and milk. Blend and strain. Set aside.

Pudding: Break French bread into medium pieces. Add pecans and melted butter. Arrange in a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Pour custard mix over bread pieces.

To bake, place the baking dish in a larger pan to creat a double boiler effect. Place a small amount of water in the bottom pan. Bake at 350 F for 50 to 60 minutes. Test by inserting a knife blade into the center of the pudding.

Whiskey Sauce: Melt butter. Whip in powdered sugar. Fold in eggs. Add whiskey. Serve warm over bread pudding.
