Vanilla Bean Bread Pudding With Butterscotch Sauce

Bread Pudding:
Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in an 8-inch square baking dish, or other 2-quart baking dish; set aside. With a sharp knife or scissors, carefully split vanilla beans. Scrape inside pulp onto a plate, then mix the scrapings with the 1 cup sugar. In large mixing bowl combine the vanilla sugar, eggs, and vanilla; beat slowly just to blend. Blend in milk. Add the torn bread and stir gently to combine. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake at 350° for40 to 50 minutes, or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for about 30 minutes before serving.

Butterscotch Sauce:
Combine brown sugar with flour in saucepan; blend well. Stir in boiling water and salt. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer, stirring, for about 7 minutes. If too thick add a little more water. Remove from heat; stir in butter, cream, and vanilla.

For a pretty presentation, put the butterscotch sauce in a sauce squeeze bottle (or an old-fashioned diner-style condiment squeeze bottle) and make a decorative criss-crossing on a dessert plate then set bread pudding on the plate and top with more sauce.
