Ingredients
****************
4 stale glazed donuts 1 / 2 cup raisins or other dried fruit 2 eggs ( room temperature) 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk 2 Tbsp white sugar (optional) 1 tsp. Vanilla extract 1 / 4 tsp. Almond extract (optional) 1 tsp. Grated orange zest 2 tsp. Ground cinnamon 1 / 4 tsp. Ground nutmeg
Procedure
***************
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a small glass baking dish. Tear
the donuts into bite size pieces. Combine donut pieces and raisins in the
prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend
together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond
extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the
donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand 15
minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Place the baking dish inside a
larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about
halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish,
to prevent drying. Bake for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a
knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
