This is an old fashioned recipe thatalwaysgets ravesfrom my husband. Theday old bread forms a spongy layer with a thick custard at the bottom when baked in a glass bowl. The raisins, when used, swell, and are a sweet delight.
I usually double or triple this recipe because it gets better the second day in the fridge.
6 slices day old bread (approx 2 generous cups)
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup raisins
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cups milk
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon or more cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
put bread and raisins in a glassbowl. Combine all other ingredients and mix well.
Pour the liquid over the bread. BAKE at 350 for 45 minutes or longer. Stick a knife in the middle and if there is milk about an inch down it needs to bake longer. I bake mine from 45 to 75 minutes. the top will usually be a dark brown.
*Place bowl in a pan with about an inch of water in it to bake - helps the custard form.
