My mother made this as a treat for us when I was a child, but used chocolate gravy instead of rum sauce. We often were angry with dad as it was difficult to get those day old biscuits. He loved mom's biscuits and gravy a little too much.
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups crumbled day old biscuits
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 ts. nutmeg
3 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 Tblsp. grated lemon rind
Combine eggs and milk, stir well. Add bread, sugar, raisins, butter salt and lemon rind. Stir gently, put in greased 2 quart baking dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Put in pan of water, bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
Rum Sauce
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/ Tblsp. corn starch
1/3 cup rum
1 Tblsp. butter
Cook and stir until butter melts. Serve warm. Yield about 1 and 1/2 cup
Yummy!
