Ingredients

1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup Bourbon
4 cups stale bread, cubed
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
whiskey, sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Preparation

Soak raisins in bourbon overnight.
Soak bread in milk for 1/2hr.
While soaking the bread preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put the butter in a 9x9 pan and put in the oven to melt.
Remove when butter is melted and bubbly.
While the butter is melting, mix all other ingredients and add to bread.
Gently pour the mixture in pan over the butter and bake for 35mins.
For whiskey sauce:
In double boiler, vigorously whisk egg and sugar until blended and warm to the touch and fluffy.
Add melted butter in steady stream while continuing to whisk.
Add bourbon 1Tbs at a time and taste. I usually use 1 1/2-2Tbs.
