French Toast with Coconut Syrup




Delicious! I don't go out of my way for flaked coconut, so I was a little hesitant to try this syrup, but it was surprisingly good. You could cut down on the butter and it would still be delicious. You can't go wrong with homemade syrup. I didn't blend my ingredients for the french toast, just whisked by hand, and it turned out fine.

Recipe: Sister's Cafe

French Toast
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 T. flour
6 slices of thick sliced French bread

First beat eggs, then add remaining ingredients with electric mixer. Dip both sides of bread and place in hot buttered pan. Flip over when browned. Serve with Coconut Syrup.

Coconut Syrup
7 - 8 T. butter
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot. Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving.
