Bread and Butter Custard

by Mary Gill (from Paula Deenâs Best Dishes)

Serves: 6

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ease of Preparation: Easy

Ingredients:

4 to 5 thin slices of white bread (crusts removed)

2 tablespoons butter, room temperature

4 cups whole milk

6 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Nutmeg & cinnamon to dust on top of custard

Directions:

Pre heat oven to 325 degrees

Butter each piece of bread and place butter side up in a single layer in a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a medium sauce pan, scald milk over medium heat until bubbles appear. In a large mixing bowl slightly beat eggs. Stir in sugar and vanilla and whisk. Very slowly whisk in hot milk. Pour over bread in baking dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon. Place baking dish in the center of a pan of hot water as high as the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes, or until knife comes out clean.

Notes from Paulaâs Test Kitchen: Recipe works best with whole milk, preventing custard from being watery. Serve warm or cold
