Crispy Cinnamon French Toast


Kimberly
Crispy Cinnamon French Toast
Makes 1 loaf of French bread


Ingredients
1 loaf of cinnamon chip bread or French bread or bread of your choice

batter
1 cup half & half, milk or cream, I prefer half & half
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

crispy layer
2 cups rice crispies, crushed to powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon 

butter layer
1-2 sticks melted butter


Slice your bread, if it is not sliced. I prefer a cinnamon type of bread, but you can use any bread. Costco sells a wonderful cinnamon chip bread, I use that when I have it. You will need 3 shallow dipping dishes. 

Batter
Combine all ingredients for the batter in a shallow dish, mix well. I prefer Half and half but you can use milk or cream or a combination. Set aside.

Crispy layer
Crush your rice crispies. I use to use a quart size ziplock bag. Put rice crispies in bag, get as much air out as possible and roll a glass over the rice crispies. Roll in all different directions until rice crispies are a fine powder. Now I use a food processor. Either way works. Pour powder in shallow dish, add sugar and cinnamon. mix well. Set aside.

Butter
Melt butter in microwave, pour in the 3 shallow dish. 


Directions
Warm griddle or frying pan. Place butter dish closest to the griddle of frying pan, but not close enough to melt dish or burn you. Place dish with Crispy layer next. Then have the batter dish at the end. Pictured in order above. Take a slice of bread and start with the batter layer. Quickly dip one side of bread then the other. Next place battered bread in crispy layer, one side then the other side. Next quickly dip bread in butter one side then the other, immediately place slice on griddle, repeat with the remaining slices of bread. 

Cook until golden brown and then flip to other side. Serve with your favorite French toast toppings.
