vinnys french tickler toast

This awesome french toast recipe comes from my dear friend Vinny. Its in his words (edited for clarity and to be more recipe-friendly), and as with most of my own recipes, all measurements are up to you, to your own taste. If anyone else has any original recipes they'd like to share and have me post, feel free to send them on over.

The Ingredients:
- babka bread (polish bread traditional in my family for holidays. i hate it personally, but it makes a mean french toast because it soaks up all the batter so well. plus there's raisins in it)

- eggs

- ground cinnamon

- ground ginger

- vanilla extract

- brown sugar

- almond milk (i SUPPOSE you could use regular milk, buttermilk, etc... hell i might even experiment with chocolate milk one day. but i prefer almond milk)

- maple syrup

- salt

- oh yeah, and some butter/margarine/whatever to fry it with.

The Rundown:
- beat eggs

- slowly add almond milk to make the eggs lighter but not watery.

- add brown sugar, ginger, maple syrup, pinch of salt, vanilla extract and cinnamon, mix well.


- slice babka bread approximately 1" thick

- coat each slice in egg mixture

- melt butter in heated skillet

- place slices of bread in skillet, turning occasonally until both sides are golden brown

- once it's done, put it on a plate, let that shit cool down for christ's sake, and feast away. add syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, whatever you want to it. oh and let me know what you think!
