This variation of typical French toast is both simple to prepare and delicious. And the homemade syrup has more flavor than bottled pancake syrup ever could. I hope you like them both! Ingredients:
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon salt |
12 slices day-old french bread (1/2 inch thick) |
1-1/4 cups crushed cornflakes |
1 to 2 tablespoons butter |
syrup: |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
2/3 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk |
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Add bread and soak for 5 minutes, turning once to coat. Coat each slice with cornflake crumbs and place on a well-greased baking sheet. Dot each slice with butter. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
2. For syrup, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in evaporated milk and flavorings.
3. Serve over warm French toast. Yield: 6-8 servings.
