Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish.

  • Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes.

  • Pour into baking dish and bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and then make the sauce by melting butter and sugar together in a small sauce pan over low heat.
