Egyptian Bread and Butter Pudding

==Ingredients==
* 6 sheets of fillo (or puff pastry, pancakes, or bread)
* 6 - 8 tablespoons of butter, melted
* ⅔ cup black or golden raisins
* 1 cup mixed whole or slivered blanched almonds, chopped hazelnuts and chopped pistachios
* 5 cups whole milk
* 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
* ½ - ⅔ cup sugar
* 1 - 2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
==Directions==
# Keep the sheets of fillo in a pile, covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.
# Brush each one with melted butter and place them on top of each other on a buttered baking sheet.
# But the buttered fillo sheets in a preheated 350F oven for about 10 minutes, until they are crisp and the top ones are slightly colored.
# When cool enough to handle, crush the pastry with your hands into pieces into a baking dish, sprinkling the nuts and raisins between the layers.
# Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a pan with the sugar and pour over the pastry.
# Sprinkle, if you like, with the cinnamon and return to the oven.
# Raise the heat to 425°F and bake for about 20 - 30 minutes, until slightly golden.
# Serve hot.
