ALMOND CRUSTED FRENCHTOAST

I used Frenchbread for this and sliced it up...it was so yummy!

Yummilicious homemade syrup
(by Ann...my mom!:)):
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup of water
1/4 cup karo

Cook until boils. Then add 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp maple extract and cook until thickens.
THEN I like to add a cinnamon stick esp. for this frenchtoast(or just add a little cinnamon) and let that just simmer for a minute while prepping the rest of this yummy meal...)

Frenchbread batter:
1 cup of cream
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract

Directions:
1. Dip bread in batter(kinda push it in the batter to get it all covered).
2. Dip the battered bread into slivered almonds(you may need to press some almonds onto it).
3. Place the batter- almond covered bread into a pan or skillet of about 1/2-1 TBS. of melted butter
(IMPORTANT:HAVE THE BURNER SET ON JUST BELOW MEDIUM(ABOUT MED/LOW) HEAT!!!- Frenchtoast needs to cook thru-soggy frenchtoast sucks!)
4. Set the oven on warm and when your pieces are getting done and you have more to cook, place the done pieces in the oven so as to keep them crisp and warm!
5. When thru cooking...
Place frenchtoast on plate...then add sliced strawberries... a little whip cream... and to top it all off...cinnamon syrup!!!:) I don't know if we should call this a breakfast or dessert, but whatever it is you will love it!!!
