Servings: persons

2 tablespoons honey
½ tablespoon orange zest
⅛ cup Grand Marnier
two small pinches salt
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 slices of authentic french sliced brioche bread
4 large eggs
2 ½ cups half-and-half (not skim or fat free)
Grand Marnier, cream sauce (ingredients below)
2 ½ cups half-and-half
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup Grand Marnier
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Cut brioche slices diagonally and arrange in two layers in an 8x8 baking dish.
3
Thoroughly whisk all ingredients and pour over arranged bread and allow to soak for 20 minutes.
4
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan, and add enough very hot tap water to the roasting pan to come up an inch up the side of the baking dish.
5
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting so the foil doesn't touch the pudding.
6
Make 2 slashes in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
7
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, remove aluminum foil and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set.
8
While the pudding is baking, make the cream sauce.
9
In a one quart saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cream and sugar.
10
Place the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the Grand Marnier in a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend and make a slurry.
11
Pour the slurry into the cream mixture and bring to a boil.
12
Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat, add the salt, and stir in the butter and remaining Grand Marnier.
