Instructions
- Prepare the caramel sauce first. Put the brown sugar, cream and butter into a small saucepan and melt together stirring. Bring up to a simmer and let it bubble for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour into a jug or bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the bread and set aside
- Next mix the eggs, cream, milk, vanilla, 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Pop the cornflakes, Panko crumbs and cinnamon into a plastic zip lock bag (or similar) and squash with a rolling pin or your hands till there are large and small pieces of crumbs. Put onto a flat plate.
- Now finally prepare the frypan. I like to soften the butter and have the oil handy. Adding a touch of oil to melted butter will stop it from browning too quickly.
- Set up the egg custard, crumbs and bread and heat the frypan on medium until it is hot. Add a knob of butter and a teaspoon of oil and move it about the frypan. Start to dip the bread into the custard mix. turn it over a couple of times before dipping it into the cornflakes crumbs on both sides and adding to the frypan. Add two slices at a time into your frypan. Turn over when one side is golden. Flip and cook the other side till golden.
- This French toast is best eaten when straight from the pan.
- Serve the French toast with caramel sauce, Berries and Yoghurt.
- Also great with Bananas
