Place the pan in a pan of water and bake at 375 degrees for 1-½ hours or until done. Uncover and cool until firm. To re-warm, wrap in foil and place in a steamer or a colander over a pan of simmering water and cover.

Heat corn syrup and brown sugar until dissolved. Cook over medium heat until bubbling. Add cream, praline liqueur, vanilla and salt.

Stir well and serve over bread pudding with vanilla sauce.

Blend a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks and cream. Return the egg mixture to the stove. Remove from heat, stirring well. Add a pinch of salt and serve.
