Instructions: Blend eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla to make a cold custard. Slice bread.

Baste bread slices with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Bake bread on a sheet pan in a 375 degree oven to crisp. Layer bread in a baking pan. Pour the custard over the bread.

Cover the pan with foil. Place the pan in a pan of water and bake at 375 degrees for 1-1/2 hours or until done. Uncover and cool until firm. To re-warm, wrap in foil and place in a steamer or a colander over a pan of simmering water and cover.

PRALINE SAUCE

Heat corn syrup and brown sugar until dissolved. Cook over medium heat until bubbling. Add cream, praline liqueur, vanilla and salt. Stir well and serve over bread pudding with vanilla sauce.

VANILLA SAUCE

Blend sugar and flour then blend with milk. Bring this mixture to a boil and then simmer until smooth, stirring constantly. Mix egg yolks, vanilla and cream. Blend a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks and cream.

Return the egg mixture to the stove. Remove from heat, stirring well. Add a pinch of salt and serve.
