By martha-2

Ingredients

• 8-10 cups of white bread (dry hot dog buns, rolls, or french bread), cubed
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), divided
• 12 oz. evaporated milk (not condensed)
• 1-1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 6 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnanmon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using the stick of butter, butter a 9 x 12 baking dish and spread the bread cubes evenly in the bottom; set aside. Reserve the rest of the stick of butter for later use. In a large bowl, mix together evaporated milk, 1 cup of whole milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until eggs are completely mixed in. Add cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well and immediately pour over bread; let set 5-10 minutes, pressing down occasionally. Pour additional milk over the bread if the bread is too dry. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes until bubbly and golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Melt the rest of the stick of butter that was used to buttered the dish and pour evenly over the hot pudding as soon as it comes out of the oven. Serve warm or cold and if you like top with a sauce of your choosing.
