To bake, place the baking dish in a larger pan to creat a double boiler effect. Place a small amount of water in the bottom pan. Bake at 350° F for 50 to 60 minutes. Test by inserting a knife blade into the center of the pudding.

Whiskey Sauce: Melt butter. Whip in powdered sugar. Fold in eggs. Add whiskey. Serve warm over bread pudding.
