Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 pt (1 cup) whipping cream
1 c Orange juice
1 To 1 1/2 ounces Orange
-Liqueur
1 Loaf French Bread
Butter, margarine or cooking
-oil
Powdered sugar
* Mix eggs, whipping cream and orange juice. Then
add liqueur to taste. Pour into large casserole or
glass baking dish.
Remove ends from the bread and cut loaf into 12-15
slices, each about 3/4" thick. Place slices in egg
mixture and let stand for a few minutes to absorb some
of the liquid; then turn so the other side of the
bread can absorb some of the mixture. Cover tightly
with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready
to prepare the French Toast. Some cooks soak the
bread in the egg mixture overnight, refrigerated so
that it becomes almost custardlike in texture.
*
Preheat heavy skillet or electric griddle to 325-350
degrees. Melt butter, margarine or place oil in
skillet. Place four or five slices in to cook, but do
not crowd. Cook on one side until golden brown, turn
and cook on the other side. Remove and keep warm
while you cook remaining slices, adding more oil or
butter as needed. Place toast on serving plates and
dust with powered sugar. Garnish with fresh fruit, if
desired, and serve with honey, jam or syrup of your
choice. Yields 4-5 Serv.
