This French toast is perfect for Mother's Day! It is a nice twist to the traditional breakfast dish, and makes a nice addition to any brunch. I hope that you enjoy this recipe. Serve with fresh fruit, fruit preserves, or warm maple syrup. Ingredients:
1 cup slivered almonds |
3 eggs |
1 cup milk |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
12 thick slices french bread |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
3 tablespoons butter |
confectioners' sugar for dusting |
Directions:
1. Place almonds in a small saucepan over low heat. Tossing frequently, toast until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, salt, baking powder, almond extract and vanilla extract. Soak bread slices in the mixture until saturated. Place slices in a shallow pan. Refrigerate slices approximately 1 hour.
3. Heat canola oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. One at a time, press one side of soaked bread slices in the almonds to coat. Fry bread slices on both sides until golden brown. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving,
