French Toast

Piloncillo Syrup

Method

French Toast Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-sliced bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed.

Piloncillo Syrup Preparation

  1. 4

    Dissolve Piloncillo

    In a small saucepan, combine the piloncillo and water. Add the cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the piloncillo is fully dissolved.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Syrup

    Lower the heat and let the syrup simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.

Whipped Cream Preparation

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft peaks form.
