7 7 cups croissants (1.75 L) or 7 cups another bread (1.75 L)
1/2 cup milk (125 mL)
1 1/2 cups warm half-and-half (375 mL) or 1 1/2 cups light cream (375 mL)
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar (160 mL)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (10 mL)
1 tablespoon brandy (15 mL) (optional)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (125 mL)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (80 mL)
1 tablespoon baking powder (15 mL)
3/8 teaspoon salt (1.5 mL)

1
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Grease top of the muffin pan.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
3
Pour all but 2 cups (500 mL) of the bread cubes in a large bowl. Add milk and cream and let stand for 3 minutes, then stir to mush up some of the cubes and let the liquid soak inches Stir in eggs, sugar, vanilla, brandy and butter.
4
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, then stir into wet ingredients. Add raisins and stir well to make a chunky butter. Stir in reserved breads cubes just to mix.
5
Using a large ice-cream scoop, fill each muffin cup to just over rim. Place muffin pan on prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake for 30 minutes or until muffins are golden with tips of firmer bread cubes golden brown. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Unmold onto a serving platter on wire rack, dust with icing sugar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
