1 (8 oz.) French bread
1 qt. milk
1/2 c. butter
4 egg yolks
4 whole eggs
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
6 tbsp. additional sugar
1/4 c. water

Cube bread. Place in bowl. Bring milk to near boil. Add butter. Mix egg yolks, eggs, sugar, vanilla, almond and cinnamon together. Add slowly to hot milk. Mix well. Pour over bread mixture and let stand 30 minutes, so bread is well soaked. In 10 inch mold, caramelize 6 tablespoons sugar and water until light brown. Let cool. Pour pudding mixture into mold. Place mold in pan of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before removing. Serve with vanilla sauce or applesauce. Serves 8.
