By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• SYRUP:
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 slices day-old French bread (1/2 inch thick)
• 1-1/4 cups crushed cornflakes
• 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Add bread and soak for 5 minutes, turning once to coat. Coat each slice with cornflake crumbs and place on a well-greased baking sheet. Dot each slice with butter. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

For syrup, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in evaporated milk and flavorings.

Serve over warm French toast.

Yield: 6-8 servings.
