• In large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and melted butter.
• Pour over the bread and raisins and lighly fold in using a spatula.

• Bake for about 45 minutes, until the pudding is golden brown and puffed up around the edges. The center should be "set" but still a little soft.
• To make the whiskey sauce:
• In a small bowl beat eggs together with whiskey. Set aside.

• Remove from the heat, let cool slightly. Quickly whisk in the beaten eggs and whiskey.
• Place the sauce back on the stove over low heat and whisk constantly until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• NOTE: If over cooked the sauce will curdle.
• Keep warm until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
• With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
• Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
• Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.

Steps:

• Cut the bread into one-inch cubes and; if the bread is fresh, let it dry at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl. Cover with milk and let stand about 15 minutes until milk is absorbed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick and creamy. Add pecans and raisins, pour over the soaked bread cubes, and stir until mixed.
• Grease a 9 x 11 x 2-inch baking dish ( or 2 6-cup dishes. Spoon the pudding mixture into the baking dish(es) and dot the surface of the pudding evenly with butter.
• The pudding must bake in a water-bath, so place a larger shallow pan in the center of the preheated oven. Set the dishes dishes in it and pour boiling water into the outer pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean. Let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• To make the Bourbon Sauce: Combine the sugar with the water in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil without stirring. Insert a candy thermometer and let simmer until the mixture reaches 238 depgrees, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the thermometer.
• Lower the heat and add the pieces of butter all at once. Stir rapidly with a wire whisk until the butter has been absorbed and the mixture is creamy. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Blend the bourbon and cornstarch together until well combined and stir into the sauce. Beat with a whisk until smooth. Return the sauce to the heat and whisk for a minute or two, just until it reaches a hard boil and bubbles up in the pan. If the sauce remains hot for too long a time or is overcooked, it will eventually become grainy from the evaporation of the liquid. To remedy this, simply add a tablespoon or two of water and reheat, whisking constantly to a hard boil. Remove from the heat. Serve over the warm bread pudding.
• Note: The one large pudding will make 10-12 servings. If your group is small, make the pudding in the two 6-cup dishes. Serve the one and store the other in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 4 months. To serve, bring to room temperature,l then heat at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes until it is warm through. The sauce may be made in advance and stored in the refrigertor for up to a month. To serve, bring it to a boil in a small heavy saucean over medium heat, whisking constantly. If the sauce sugars, remedy it as above.
