Awesome Bread Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

7 slices bread
1 cup cream or 1 cup eggnog
4 eggs, well beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter (top with before baking)
1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon (it's best not to use all the mixture, cover to taste.)
Sauce
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 ounces evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

I use a 2 quart Corelle dish with approximately 3 inch sides. This way it puffs up in the center and then collapses after baking. Making a crunchy top. It makes around 6-8 servings and I have used raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, peaches. All are very good.
I put 4 broken pieces of bread in the bottom, then fruit, then add the remaining 3 pieces of bread on top. After adding the custard, press all pieces down with fork and let sit for a few minutes.
Dot with butter and dust with sugar & cinnamon. Bake at 375\u00b0F For one hour or until a knife comes out clean.
Spoon into bowl and drizzle the sauce on as much as you like.
