These French Toast Sticks are sure to make your morning a good morning!
I was having an irresistible craving for French Toast Sticks {I swear I’m not pregnant!}.
Do you have the craving yet?
I bet you do now!
My children loved me this morning {much better than raisin bran and a banana I guess}.
I’m usually not the “fry-it-up” kinda gal, but I was feeling it…so I had to go with it.
Mix up your batter in a shallow bowl {makes it easy to dip your bread}.
Get a nice loaf of Potato Bread, or similar. Grab a small stack and cut off the crust.
You can save the crust for later! {I’m thinking croutons!}
Divide the bread into three pieces, easy for frying, and easy for dipping into homemade syrup {yeah- it’s easy}
So here’s the line-up: Bread, Batter, Oil, Paper Towels. It makes it easier to line them up so you’re not dripping everywhere.
Speaking of dripping… only dip your bread into the batter, don’t let it soak. Then make sure to get all the drips off before putting it into the oil.
Turn the sticks often in the oil till they get nice and golden brown, then transfer them over to the towels for drying. Be sure to serve these warm with a light dusting of powdered sugar, and a side of maple syrup!
Did you catch all that?
Here it is again in case you missed it!

Would I be able to substitute the cream for another ingredient? I am lactose intolerant. Thanks!

Hi Valerie, You could always try a canned coconut milk for the cream part, and maybe a coconut milk beverage or almond milk for a regular milk substitute? Let me know how they turn out if you try them! 🙂
