3/4 lb Bread, French or Sourdough
1/4 c  Pecans, toasted
4 oz Butter, melted

–CUSTARD MIX–
2 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
8 x Eggs, large
5 1/2 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla

-WHISKEY SAUCE-
8 oz Butter, melted
2 c Powdered sugar, sifted
2 x Eggs, large, beaten well
1 oz Whiskey

CUSTARD: Break bread into medium pieces. Add pecans and melted butter.
Arrange in 9×13 pan.

Blend eggs, salt and sugar lightly with wire whip. Add vanilla and milk.
Blend and strain. Pour over bread and nuts in pan.

Bake at 350oF. in pan of water* for 20-25 minutes. Test with knife.

*Note: for custard to bake properly, you must create this double boiler
effect. Plan size of pan accordingly.

WHISKEY SAUCE: Melt butter. Whip in sifted powdered sugar. Fold in eggs.
Add whiskey. Serve warm.

I usually reheat this in the e before serving just to ensure that
the eggs are *cooked* thoroughly.

I have used butterscotch schnapps instead of whiskey and it was delicious!
