Delicious and elegant yet easy and down home. Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream |
4 eggs |
4 tablespoons grand marnier (you can substitute orange juice) |
4 tablespoons granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons orange zest |
french bread (i also use peasant bread) |
orange butter |
6 oz. butter (softened) |
juice of one orange |
1 tablespoon grand marnier |
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar |
orange zest from one orange |
Directions:
1. Put 10 - 12 pieces of French bread in a baking dish. Mix ingredients together and pour over bread. Put in refrigerator overnight. Turn slices after two hours.
2. Next day, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees/ Butter cookie sheet and transfer bread. Bake 30 - 40 minutes, turning halfway through. (You will want a baking dish on the rack below to catch any melted butter after you flip the bread.)
3. Set French toast on a serving tray and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Serve with maple syrup and orange butter (recipe below).
4. Orange Butter Directions:
5. Soften butter. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Form a ball and refrigerate. **I had a problem with this forming a ball. The liquid wants to separate. My solution, refrigerate, then before serving, melt for 30 seconds in the microwave and drizzle over French toast when serving. Was delicious like this and looked very pretty.**
