• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups water
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, make it a large 1/3 cup, but not
• 1/4 cup margarine, melted
• 3 -4 cups French bread, cubed
• 2 eggs
• 1/8 1/8 cup lemon juice or 1/8 cup Amaretto
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup margarine, melted

1. Combine the sugar, milk and water in a bowl and mix well. Add the eggs, salt, vanilla, coconut and 1/4 cup melted margarine and mix well. Stir in the bread cubes. Let stand until the liquid is absorbed. Spoon into a 9 x 12 inch baking dish.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding rises like a souffle and springs back when touched.
3. For the sauce: Combine the eggs and flavoring (whiskey or lemon juice or amaretto, not all!) in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup melted margarine and process until smooth.
