Ingredients

4 stale slices firm-textured white bread, crusts and all (see headnote)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup dark seedless raisins (see headnote)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups milk

Instructions

Butter 1 1/2-quart casserole or spritz with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg at high electric mixer speed about 2 minutes until creamy. With mixer at low speed, add milk gradually, then half-and-half.
Pour over bread and raisins in casserole and let stand uncovered at room temperature 1 hour. After 40 minutes, preheat oven to 350 °F.
When pudding has stood 1 hour, set in large shallow pan, and place on pulled-out middle oven shelf. Pour hot water into pan to depth of 1 inch, slide shelf into oven, and bake pudding uncovered about 1 hour until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
Transfer casserole to wire rack and cool 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare Bourbon Sauce: Combine sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and salt in small nonreactive saucepan. Whisk in water and bourbon and continue whisking until smooth. Add butter, set over moderate heat, and cook, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes until thickened and translucent. Remove from heat, mix in lemon juice, and transfer to heated sauceboat.
