French Bread Pudding With Butterscotch Sauce

Time for a simple, delicious and easy on the pocket dessert. This classic French Bread Pudding makes an exotic festival dessert with finger licking good butterscotch sauce. Serve it warm with chilled custard or a scope of vanilla ice cream. I bet it will be your next family favorite in no time.

The pudding tastes best when made with a day old bread. Moreover, let the prepared pudding casserole rest in fridge for at least 6-8 hours before popping it into the oven.
