This just might be the best French toast you will ever have! This tastes like a giant sticky cinnamon bun. I used Texas toast in place of egg bread for this and it worked well. You can use half and half in place of whipping cream. This recipe serves 2 people double or triple the recipe to serve more. Although I have not tried it as yet, if you plan on doubling the recipe, I would guess you could use half maple syrup and half pancake syrup due to cost factor. When I doubled the recipe, I used 2 cups of maple syrup, 1 cup whipping cream and 1 cup half and half. Ingredients:
1 cup pure maple syrup |
5 tablespoons butter, more if needed (no subs) |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
3 large eggs |
1 cup whipping cream, unwhipped (can use half and half cream in place of whipping cream or use 1/2 cup each) |
2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla |
4 -5 slices egg bread (about 1-inch thick) |
confectioners' sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan bring the maple syrup, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to a boil; boil for 2 minutes.
2. In a bowl whisk eggs, whipping cream, vanilla, 3 tablespoons maple syrup mixture and the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
3. Place the bread slices in a large baking dish.
4. Pour the egg mixture over bread slices; turn to coat.
5. Pierce bread in several places with a fork; let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
7. Add bread and cook until brown (about 3 minutes).
8. Add in more butter to skillet, and turn bread over; cook until brown (about 3 minutes).
9. Transfer to plates and serve with more syrup of sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
