Cinnamon Raisin French Toast


For the French Toast custard, combine using a hand whisk the milk, heavy cream, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and the salt. This custard can be made well in advance. Give a brisk stir before making the toast.
  1. Transfer the custard to a casserole or open shallow dish for dipping.
  2. Dip one slice into the custard and turn over after about 15 seconds. Transfer the slice to a plate while dipping another slice into the custard.
  3. Place a large skillet on a medium fire. Allow the pan to heat thoroughly before pouring 1 Tablespoon of the melted butter into the pan.
  4. Place both slices carefully into the skillet and cook on each side until golden brown or about 2 minutes.
  5. Repeat steps 3�5 until all the French toast is cooked.
  6. An optional step is to place each finished French toast onto a baking sheet in a preheated oven until all are ready to serve.

Serve warm with real maple syrup. Serves 4.
