Yacht Manufacturer: Pacific Seacraft
Ingredients: 4 eggs
1.5 C of sugar (or less if you prefer)
2 tbsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
3 C milk (I use powdered on the boat)
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 C pecans (chopped) or raisins (or both!)
7 C stale bread (cubed)
Note: Can be served with any sauce made with bourbon, rum, or your favorite liqueur if you like, but sauce is not essential.
E.g.:
1/2 c butter creamed over heat with 1 c sugar. Blend in 1 egg yolk. slowly add 1/2 c liqueur stirring constantly until sauce thickens.
Directions: Beat eggs until frothy. Beat in sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add milk and butter, mixing well. Stir in nuts/raisins.
Butter a 9x13 or smaller but adequately deep pan and spread bread cubes in bottom. Pour liquid over bread. Let sit 30 minutes, patting bread into liquid if needed.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minute - test and bake longer if needed until cooked in center.
