Ingredients

1 c. butter
1 ½ c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
¼ c. water
1 loaf of white bread (or Sarah Lee Wheat has worked well)
6 eggs
3 c. milk


Directions

Melt butter. Then add brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and water. This makes the drizzle.

Cover a 9x13 casserole dish with 6 slices of bread. Pour some of the drizzle over each slice. Repeat again with another layer of 6 slices of bread and then more of the drizzle. If your casserole dish is high enough you may be able to do three layers, however two layers is ok too.

Beat eggs and add milk. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the whole dish.

Cover with saran wrap and put in the refrigerator overnight.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let stand and keep warm for about an hour. The longer it stands the longer it has to thicken up.
