This is so simple to make and the flavor is scrumptious! My husband loves french toast. We love to top it with our homemade buttermilk syrup- don't let the name scare you off. I can't go back to using maple syrup ever since I tried it. The syrup is so sweet and yummy, please give it a try! Fresh cut strawberries and whipped cream would also taste great. DO NOT use instant pudding mix. Note: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own to substitute. Just combine 1/2 cup milk with 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 10 minutes before using. I usually don't have buttermilk so that's what I do and it turns out the same.
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 (3 ounce) package vanilla pudding mix
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
8 slices thick bread
2 teaspoons butter or 2 teaspoons margarine
powdered sugar, if desired
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. For syrup, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add buttermilk, corn syrup, and sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
2. Remove from heat; add vanilla and baking soda. Syrup will be foamy. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, whisk together milk, pudding mix, egg, and cinnamon for 2 minutes or until well blended.
4. Melt butter on hot griddle or in a skillet. Dip bread in mixture, coating both sides.
5. Cook over heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Serve with syrup and powdered sugar or with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
7. Store leftover syrup in refrigerator.
