Sweeten a pint of milk, flavor with cinnamon or nutmeg to taste. Have
some slices of home-made bread half an inch thick, cut off the crust
and soak the bread in the custard until all is absorbed, turning the
bread in it. Put some butter in a spider; when hot fry the bread a nice
brown on both sides. Arrange the slices nicely on a platter and serve
with or without a sauce.
