angel toast with homemade maple syrup, fresh berries, and cream


We had a loaf of angel food cake that needed to be eaten. But it was only breakfast time. So I improvised. And it was delicious!! At least there were fresh berries involved. That makes it kiiinnda healthy, right? ;)



RECIPE: Angel Toast (Angel Food Cake French Toast)

Serves: 3

Ingredients:
6 1-cm slices of angel food cake
2 eggs
1-2 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla together in a pie tin or plate with a good ledge, etc. Dredge the cake slices through the egg mixture, getting both sides and letting it soak in a bit. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the prepared cake slices in the pan and cook (flipping half way) until golden on both sides and the egg mixture is cooked through. 

Serve with Homemade Maple Syrup, fresh strawberries and cool whip. And enjoy!! Mmm.



RECIPE: Homemade Maple Syrup

Ingredients:
1 c water
1 c sugar*
1/2 tsp maple extract

Directions:
In a small sauce pan, bring the water to a boil.  Then add sugar and whisk over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat, whisk in maple extract.  Serve warm.

*Note: You can do 1 cup water with 2 cups sugar as per the original recipe.  But I think 1 cup of sugar makes it plenty sweet and delicious.  And it's maybe a tad bit better for you.  You know, as far as sugar water goes.
