   2      c             Bread cubes -- day old
   1      qt            Milk
   2                    Eggs
     1/4  c             Sugar
     1/2  ts            Salt
   1      ts            Vanilla extract
     1/4  ts            Nutmeg
   3      tb            Butter -- melted
     1/2  c             Raisins (optional)

Add the bread to the milk. Beat the eggs slightly, add the sugar and
salt and mix thoroughly. Gradually stir in the scalded milk that has
been mixed with the vanilla, nutmeg, and butter. Pour into a greased
1-1/2 qt baking dish, set in a pan of warm water; Bake in a 350°F
oven for 75 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out
clean. Eggs may be increased to 3 or 4, in which case baking time may
be reduced. Corn syrup may replace half of the sugar. Serve warm or
cold with cream, whipped cream, hard sauce, or vanilla sauce. Add
raisins before baking if desired.
