Print

Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 T. light corn syrup
1/3  cup chopped pecans
12  (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
1/2  cup milk
1 t. white sugar
1t.  nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. vanilla extract
5    eggs
1 T  confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Directions:
in a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Pour into a greased 9X13 inch baking dish, and spread evenly.  Sprinkle pecans over the sugar mixture. Arrange the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so they are in a snug single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread, pressing on the bread slices to help absorb the liquid.  Cover and refrigerate for a least one hour, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the cover from the baking dish, and let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Bake fro 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving. Fresh berries can be added as well.
