2-3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup butter (no subs)
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream or milk

Cooking Directions:

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and butter; melt over medium-low heat.
Increase heat and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
Stir in maple extract.
Using tongs, dip the bread into hot syrup, and arrange in the bottom of the baking dish.
In a bowl, beat eggs, half and half (or milk if using) and cinnamon.
Pour over bread in the pan.
Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
When ready to bake, set oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through, and a crust has formed on top.
