How to Make Golden Corral Bread Pudding

To make the bread pudding:

Place the butter and milk in a small saucepan. Heat and scald the milk and butter together. Remove and set aside. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the beaten eggs. Stir to combine. When milk is cool enough, slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking to make sure that the egg mixture is incorporated without scrambling the eggs. Add bread cubes to the custard mixture and stir carefully. Place the bread mixture in a well-oiled baking dish. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes.

Place milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the vanilla sauce from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.

Pour half of the sauce on warm bread pudding. Place the remainder of the sauce in a serving bowl. Serve bread pudding with vanilla sauce.
