1 (12") baguette French bread, torn into 2" chunks
3 c. milk
2 eggs
4 oz. raisins
2 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. butter, melted

In a medium bowl, place the bread pieces. Add the milk and soak them for 1 hour, or until all the chunks are completely saturated. If necessary, add more milk.

In a small bowl, place the eggs, raisins, vanilla, sugar and butter. Lightly beat everything together. Pour this mixture over the soaked bread chunks.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the mixture into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown. Serve with cream or Warm Whisky Sauce.
