How to Make Biscuit Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crumble 12 stale biscuits into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Pour the wet ingredients over the crumbled biscuits and gently stir until just combined. The mixture should be slightly soupy. Let stand for 30-45 minutes to allow the biscuits to fully absorb the liquid.
Pour the biscuit mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the pudding.
Continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
