Preparation

Step 1

To make the orange cream, put the sour cream, confectioners' sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice in a bowl and stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside until needed.

Put the cream, egg yolks, and grated orange zest, and juice and the sugar in a wide, shallow dish and beat well. Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet. Dip each piece of panettone in the custard mixture, coating each side well, then arrange in the skillet. Spoon any remaining custard mixture over the toasts and fry for 2 minutes, or until golden underneath.

Very carefully flip the toasts over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until golden. Put 2 slices of French toast on each plate, then dust with confectioners' sugar, drizzle the orange cream and top with strips of orange zest.
