1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Soak the raisins in bourbon in a glass, set aside.

3. Place bread in a large mixing bowl and pour the milk over the bread.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.

5. Pour over the bread and milk mixture.
6. Add the bourbon-soaked raisins and stir to combine.
7. Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan -- lesson learned, this stuff will stick to a pan!

8. Pour the bread mixture into the baking pan.

9. Add some extra raisins on top if you wish; I like it for presentation.

10. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the liquid has set -- the pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan.
11. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
