This morning Sophie requested French toast for breakfast and I had just started to whip some up when, hold on, I thought, there's a recipe for French toast in River Road!! So I looked it up and it seemed very close to what I was doing: 2 eggs, mmm-hmmm, 1/2 cup milk; ok, I never measure, but that sounds about right...3 cups of shortening! 3 CUPS!!! So I didn't follow this recipe. This is a recipe for some kind of deep-fried DONUT BREAD, not French toast. I fried mine in a bit more vegetable oil than usual (about 2 tablespoons), and the toast came out yummy (was using some nice oatmeal bread--I think that made a difference--nicer texture than standard white air-bread). I don't see myself ever making this particular recipe, which by the way was supplied by the Illinois Central Railroad. But I'm checking it off my list, just the same!
What is the Panama Limited, a train that goes directly to the cardiac care unit?!
