Instructions
Creating Pound Cake French Toast can be a delightful process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.
2. Soak the Pound Cake: Dip each slice of pound cake into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow it to soak for about 30 seconds for better absorption.
3. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and bubble.
4. Cook the French Toast: Once the butter is melted, carefully place the soaked pound cake slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more butter as necessary while cooking.
5. Repeat: Remove the cooked slices and keep them warm in a low-heat oven. Add more butter to the skillet and repeat the soaking and cooking process with the remaining slices.
6. Serve Warm: Once all slices are cooked and warmed, stack them on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly, providing a breakfast experience that is both satisfying and enjoyable.
