By: Deloris Asmus 
"This variation of typical French toast is both simple to prepare and delicious. And the homemade syrup has more flavor than bottled pancake syrup ever could. I hope you like them both!"

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 slices day-old French bread
  • 1 1/4 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • SYRUP:
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine eggs, milk, vanilla and salt. Add bread and soak for 5 minutes, turning once to coat. Coat each slice with cornflake crumbs and place on a well greased baking sheet. Dot each slice with butter. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. For syrup, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in evaporated milk and flavorings. Serve over warm French toast.
