7 slices bread 1 cup cream or egg nog 4 eggs, well beaten 1 cup milk 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 tablespoons butter (top with before baking) 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon (it's best not to use all the mixture, cover to taste.) Break bread in large pieces, place in baking dish. Combine all ingredients and pour over the bread. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over top. Dot with butter and bake at 375°F. for one hour or until a knife comes out clean. Sauce: 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 large can evaporated milk * ** 1/2 stick butter 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until thickened. * I use 1 pint half-and-half. ** for a richer sauce use condensed milk.
