This homey, comforting dessert is a favorite of Loretta Dressel of Nathrop, Colorado. The texture is neither soggy nor dry, and the lemony sauce drizzled on top is delightful. —Loreta Dressel, Nathrop, Colorado

SERVINGS: 40

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min.

Ingredients:

  • 16 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 12 cups milk
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
