Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Stir in sugar and flour until well blended.
3. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened—about 5–7 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the beaten egg very slowly (to avoid scrambling), then return to low heat and stir for 1 more minute.
5. Remove from heat again, stir in vanilla, and serve warm over the bread pudding.
