Wonderful pudding, didn't try the sauce in the recipe this time. I made a whiskey sauce from another recipe instead, just because I had the whiskey close by. This is an easy to make and good uncomplicated bread pudding base, could really use with any fruit, nuts, or spices desired and it would be good. I also split it up into individual servings using a muffin pan & even though they were smaller portions, it took about 10 min. longer to bake than listed in recipe.
