French Toast

I know we all love Kneader's all you can eat French Toast breakfast. This isn't the same but it is delicious and full of cinnamon and goodness as well. It's best with day old Sour Dough Bread.

French Toast

4 eggs
3/4 cup cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cut day old sourdough bread into slices about 1 inch thick. Mix the ingredients together and dip day old sourdough bread. Place the dipped bread on a sheet pan and cover it. Let is soak over night to allow it to soak through.

The morning of, heat a griddle or pan and cook the bread up. Since it is so thick it does take a little bit longer to cook. I set my temperature to about 325 degrees.

Serve with Cinnamon Syrup. I love it with some fresh berries or a berry sauce, and whipped cream. Most of the time we just have strawberry jam and that's good too.

Cinnamon Syrup

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup cream

Mix and boil everything except the cream. Let it cook and boil for about 1-2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before adding the cream. Add the cream and serve over french toast.


Another syrup recipe I've used and liked on other stuff is a copycat Kneader's syrup recipe. None of these are healthy in any way but they are delicious.

Kneader's Syrup

1/2 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

In a larger saucepan than you think necessary, combine butter, buttermilk, and sugars. While stirring regularly, bring to a boil. Add baking soda and vanilla. It will foam and bubble so make sure your pan is big. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. It becomes a sort of caramel sauce. Remove from heat and serve.


This is amazing for Christmas Morning. Just make sure you plan ahead.
