Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces day-old biscuits
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Break the day-old biscuits into small pieces (around 1-2 inches) and distribute them evenly in the prepared baking dish. If using raisins, sprinkle them over the biscuits.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the biscuits, ensuring that all pieces are coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the biscuits to soak up the custard.
Dot the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the top of the mixture in tiny pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
