Instructions

2.Meanwhile, whisk together 4 cups milk, eggs, sugar and Pure Vanilla Extract.
3.Remove the pan from the oven, place the bread in the pan and pour the custard over the bread. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center barely jiggles.

In a saucepan set over medium heat, add the butter to the pan and melt. Whisk in the flour and cook until it darkens slightly in color and smells nutty.
5.Taste and adjust with extra spiced rum, if desired. Serve over warm bread pudding.
