Pudding: Layer the bread in a buttered baking dish with the raisins, coconut, pecans and cinnamon. Whisk together the milk, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla. Pour the batter over the bread layer. The mixture should be very moist but not soupy. Set the oven at 350 degrees F, but do not preheat it. Put the pan into the oven as you turn the oven on.
Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, until top
is golden brown. Serve hot with sauce.
Sauce: Blend the butter and the sugar over
medium heat in a saucepan
until all the butter is incorporated.
Remove from the heat and whisk in
the egg yolks. Slowly stir in the bourbon,
whisking constantly. Sauce
will thicken as it cools. Serve warm over
warm bread pudding. Store in
fridge.
