Super Duper French Toast

This is going to be good!

---

Ingredients (6 servings)

6 Eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 pt (1 cup) whipping cream

1 c Orange juice

1 to 1 1/2 ounces Orange Liqueur (optional or dash of vanilla)

1 Loaf French Bread

Butter, margarine or cooking oil

Powdered sugar

The night before, 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 custard like 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. Serves 4-5.
