  • PUDDING:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 cups day-old white or French bread, torn into small pieces
  • 1 cup raisins
  • CUSTARD SAUCE:
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  1. For pudding, combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Add bread and raisins; mix well. Turn into a greased 9-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, for sauce, combine yolks, sugar and cornstarch in the top of a double boiler. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Serve pudding and sauce warm or chilled.
