Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 vanilla bean (see note) or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (8 to 9 slices) firm white bread, crust left on
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • Custard Sauce or Irish Whiskey Sauce

Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the raisins and whiskey and let soak for 1
  2. hour.
  3. Butter a 9-inch-square glass baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  5. Add the vanilla extract or split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and drop them into the custard.
  6. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  7. Cut the slices in half diagonally and arrange half the bread, overlapping the slices, in the bottom of the baking dish.
  8. Drain the raisins and sprinkle half over the bread.
  9. Repeat with remaining bread and raisins.
  10. Pour the custard over the bread and let soak for 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  12. Place the baking dish in a large baking pan.
  13. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is
  14. golden.
  15. Remove the baking dish from the water and let cool on a wire
  16. rack.
  17. Serve warm with a chilled sauce, if desired.
  18. ******Note: Vanilla beans, which are actually seedpods, can be found in the baking or spices section of most supermarkets.
  19. For maximum flavor, slice the pod down its length and scrape the point of the knife along the inside to release the seeds.
  20. Vanilla pods are quite expensive (as much as $7 for two pods), but the flavor is worth it.
  21. After the seeds are scraped out, you can make vanilla sugar by putting the pods into a lidded jar of superfine sugar.
  22. Use the sugar in cakes, sauces and other desserts.
  23. You can continue to add used pods and replace with more sugar as needed.
