Copy Cat Golden Corral's Bread Pudding

I made this for my Dad for Valentine's Day.  He loved it!  I think next time I make it I'll use a little less bread, as when I made it I pushed down on the bread in the measuring cup and thought 'I need more'. Well, I didn't lol. Shame on me!  Anyways, this recipe is just the best!  I searched around the internet and found 20 websites all spouting how great this recipe was.  So here it is. From my little 'test kitchen' to yours.  It has been tried and found delicious.  Enjoy =)

Copy Cat Golden Corral's Bread Pudding

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 3 cups French bread cubed, partially dried
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup packed Dark brown sugar

Cooking Directions

• Scald milk and butter together.
• Remove and set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
• When milk is cool enough (about 10 minutes) add egg mixture making sure that the egg mixture does not curdle.  
• Add bread cubes and stir carefully, do not beat.
• Place in an 8"x8” well−oiled, or non stick sprayed pan.
• Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, check with toothpick.  If it's ready, the toothpick will come out clean.
• When done set aside.

White Sauce

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Dash of salt

White Sauce Directions

• Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil for 3 − 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
• Pour about 1/2 mixture on warm bread pudding and place the remaining sauce in a serving bowl for those who desire a little more sugary sweetness.
• Best served warm.  But if it lasts long enough you can have at room temperature too =D

This is such a sweet dessert.  Next time I may even double the recipe to make extra.  Although, it did make the perfect amount for 4 adults!
