Ingredients

1/2 loaf of bread (about 1/2 lb)

1/2 tsp. salt

4 cups milk

3 eggs

1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter, room temperature

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

1 cup sugar or 3/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

Note: This receipt is half the quantity of the original to fill one bundt pan.

Preheat oven to 350°F

In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil.

While milk is heating, cut or tear half a loaf of bread into small pieces.

Put the bread into a heatproof bowl. Sprinkle over salt and then carefully pour in the milk. Cover with a lid or a plate and let stand until the bread has soaked in most of the milk. About 20 minutes.

Cut butter into small pieces and mix into milk and bread mixture until melted.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs well.

Fold eggs into the bread mixture.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar or syrup.

Pour mixture into a greased pudding pan (or a modern-day bundt pan) and bake for 90 minutes.

Serve warm, and enjoy!
