Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce

Bourbon Sauce:

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 - 1-1/2 cups Kentucky Bourbon, depends on your love of Bourbon

Bread Pudding:

1/2 loaf French bread, cut into 1" squares
1 pint milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup raisins or cranberries, soaked in 1/8 cup bourbon
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1-1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter or margarine, melted
:
       Heat oven to 350ºF.  Bourbon Sauce:  In a saucepan, melt butter- add sugar and egg, whisking to blend well.  Cook over low heat, (do not let simmer, it could curdle) until mixture thickens.  Whisk in bourbon.  Remove from heat.  Whisk before serving.  Bread Pudding:  Soak bread in milk.  Press with hands until well mixed and all milk is absorbed.  In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices.  Gently stir into bread mixture.  Gently stir in raisins.  Pour butter into the bottom of a baking pan.  Coat bottom and sides of pan well.  Pour in bread mixture.  Bake 25 - 30 minutes, until set.  Pudding is done when edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from edge of pan.  Serve with bourbon sauce over top of each serving.
