Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and butter an 11x7-inch baking dish.
Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, almond flavorings, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest in a large bowl.
Add bread to the mixture and let it stand for 10-15 minutes.
Toss blueberries with powdered sugar, then fold them into the bread mixture.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Place it inside a larger baking pan in the oven, then add about an inch of hot water to the outer pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until firm and lightly browned.
For the lemon sauce, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a separate saucepan.
Pour boiling water over the sugar mixture, place over medium-low heat, and stir constantly until thickened and clear.
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter until blended.
Serve the bread pudding with lemon sauce.
