1:30
like one of my teaspoons or one of yours so it's something more exact than that one of mine either
1:36
way we've got this so that's a half teaspoon of cinnamon yes and a quarter of a teaspoon of nutmeg
1:43
you know nutmeg that's powerful oh it's powerful stuff well if you just kind of beat up those yolks
1:49
for me all right and we're gonna let this heat up and then uh we'll come back and we'll temper our
1:56
eggs into our custard so come on down here john just come right around here you little sweet thing

2:12
one cup of flour a half a cup of oats and then we're gonna need another cup of brown sugar
2:20

2:26
you know you could get two can thing again yeah you can't put too many nuts in it to suit me all
2:32
right and what i need for you to do is slice this bread here let me get that then okay if you'll
2:39
do that i'm going to watch over our custard pot and how about how thick do you want them
2:44
well something about a little bit thicker a little thicker now i'm going to check on our custard it's
2:51
coming up to heat john uh now that i have these sliced what if you would john just line the bottom
2:57
of our pan okay would you spread it yes yeah it's gonna take about five okay so you can just
3:05
slice one of these there you go just well actually just cut it in half this away
3:10
there you go all right all right so if you would you want to temper this in yeah all right so
3:17
by tempering we mean that we're slowly bringing those yolks up to heat so that they won't become
3:24
scrambled eggs when we put them in our hot custard because we don't want scrambled egg sweet potato
3:31
bread well the smells good the smell and it smells delicious just like thanksgiving should smell yes
3:38
well john now that we've added the eggs i need you to cut a stick of softened butter
3:43
into our pecan mix and once the custard thickens i'm just gonna add the two teaspoons of vanilla
3:51
then we're covering the first layer of our bread y'all with half of the custard just
3:57
like that half of it spread it out okay and just do the same for the second layer y'all
4:08
cover this with a plastic wrap and we're gonna let it sit for at least eight hours it's not
4:14
gonna hurt it to see it so we're just gonna put that crumbled up topping look how thick
4:21
