This recipe is from Margaret Rudkin, better known as the founder of the Pepperidge Farm Company. Her cookbook is long out of print but contains such a treasury of delicious recipes that I would encourage anyone who collects cookbooks to try to find a copy for themselves. This makes for a decadent Sunday morning breakfast.

It was easy to do and it's simple. That's what I like about this recipe. I use only whole milk (no heavy cream). I used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. I served it with maple syrup. Thanks WildLime :) Made for PAC Spring 2008Reply
