Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 2-quart baking dish.
    Butter for the baking dish
    Empty white rectangular baking dish with handles on a textured gray surface.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs and milk; whisk until blended. Whisk in the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Add the torn bread pieces and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to give the bread time to soak up the milk and egg mixture.
    2 large eggs | 2 cups milk | 1/2 cup granulated sugar | 1 tsp vanilla extract | 1/8 tsp fine salt | 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon | 4 to 5 cups 4 to 5 cups torn day-old bread

    • Use day-old bread if possible. Slightly dry bread absorbs the custard better and gives the pudding a nicer texture.
  • In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the confectioners' sugar. Fold them into the bread and milk mixture and transfer the pudding mixture to the prepared baking dish.

    • If using frozen blueberries, thaw and dry them well so they don’t add excess moisture.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until lightly browned and set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean, or an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register about 175°F.

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, syrup, heavy cream, and butter. Bring to a boil, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
    1/4 cup light brown sugar | 1/2 cup granulated sugar | 2 tbsp Lyle's golden syrup (or light corn syrup) | 3/4 cup heavy cream | 6 tbsp butter | 2 tsp vanilla extract
    Golden broth in a small saucepan.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or cold with the sauce on the side.
