Tender and sweet French toast makes for a quick and easy yet decadent weekend breakfast. For best results use real maple syrup, and if you like, serve it topped with fresh blueberries.

Ingredients

French toast
  • 4 eggs ½ cup (125ml) pouring cream
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar
  • 100 gram (3 ounces) butter, melted
  • 8 thick slices white bread (360g)
  • 2 tablespoon icing (confectioners') sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) maple syrup

Method

French toast
  • 1
    Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in cream, milk, cinnamon and sugar.
  • 2
    Heat a quarter of the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Dip two bread slices into egg mixture, one at a time; cook bread about 1 minute each side or until browned on both sides. Remove french toast from pan; cover to keep warm.
