Bread and Butter Pudding

This is one of my favourite desserts. I love it served with the caramel sauce. It can be made with any of your favourite breads including Chocolate.

Bread And Butter Pudding With Caramel Sauce

5 or 6 slices of bread

1/2 cup butter

1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar

5 eggs

2 cups cream (Or milk)

vanilla

pinch of salt

Caramel Sauce

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup cream

pinch of salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

NOTE: If you prefer the pudding to have more custard, then use less bread so that all of the custard is not absorbed into the bread when baked.

Cut crusts from bread and spread each slice with butter. (Bread slices

can be left whole, or cut into halves, quarters or cubes.

Place bread buttered side up in a oven proof dish. (may use any shape

dish, or glass loaf pan, cutting bread to fit)

Beat the sugar and eggs together and then add the cream, vanilla and salt.

Pour over bread and allow the bread to absorb. (may be refrigerated

at this point and baked later)

Sprinkle with some white sugar and place dish into a pan of hot water

and bake in a 350 oven for 45 to 1 hour, or until pudding is set and

golden.

To make caramel sauce,

Bring butter, sugars, cream and salt to a boil and then simmer for 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
