I made this meal for the kids last night, all recipes thanks to pinterest, and the kids said it was "AWESOME". Will definately make again!
Used french bread from Sam's club and went through 2 entire loaves.
French Toast
4 eggs
1 cup milk (I used 1/2 buttermilk because I had it)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour
French bread, sliced thick
In bowl, combine all ingredient except bread. Blend with whisk until lump free. You can blend this as well. Quickly dip both sides of bread in mixture and place on hot skillet. Flip over when browned and serve with hot Strawberry sauce or Hawaiian Syrup. Can top with cool whip, fresh fruit or coconut.
Coconut Syrup or Hawaiian Syrup as I called it so as not to scare the kiddos!
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. coconut extract
Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add baking soda and extract stirring constantly. It will bubble up so make sure you have room in your pot. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve over almost any breakfast food: waffles, pancakes, french toast, crepes.
Strawberry Sauce
1 pint strawberries
1/3 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract or almond extract
Wash strawberries and remove stems. Roughly chop the berries. Combine the sugar, berries and extract in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring/breaking strawberries up with a wooden spoon. After 5 minutes, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. When cool enough, transfer mixture to blender and pulse until desired consistency.
This strawberry sauce can be used over french toast, banana splits, cheesecake, ice cream, sugar cookies, crepes, pancakes or anything else you can think of!
