This recipe was not only simple and easy to follow (and delicious!); it was easy to modify. I doubled up the butter, bread, granulated sugar, and eggs, used 4 and 3/4 cups milk, and replaced the brown sugar and vanilla with about 1/2 cup butter pecan pancake syrup. I then made a caramel to top it with another 1/2 to 1 cup of butter pecan syrup and two tablespoons of butter. I brought the syrup to a boil, whisked in the butter until smooth and let it cook down for about 3 to 4 minutes, whisking constantly to form the perfect consistency (you know it's done when you draw the whisk through it and you can see the bottom of the pan for a few seconds before it settles. I served this with butter pecan ice cream.
