Directions

1

Slice a loaf of baker's bread. Cut off the crust. Have slices medium thick. Butter each well. Take a cake tin, fit the bread into it in layers and sprinkle with seeded raisins between the layers. When the tin is filled make a sweet custard of 5 or 6 eggs to 1 qt. of milk and season with grated nutmeg. Pour over the bread, filling the tin. Press down and put a weight on to keep under custard. Let stand over night. In the morning if the custard has been absorbed add enough more to cover. Bake in rather slow oven about an hour or until it puffs up and is nice light brown. Serve with or without sauce. Mrs. T. F. Quinby.
