Description
A unique twist on classic French toast using Irish soda bread, combining crispy edges with a creamy center infused with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In your mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and both salts until well combined.
- Mix in the wet ingredients: Create a well in the dry mixture and add the buttermilk, eggs, milk, vanilla, and spices. Stir gently until you form a thick batter.
- Cook the bread: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and foam slightly. Dip slices of Irish soda bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated, then place them in the skillet.
- Sizzle to perfection: Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve warm: Transfer the slices to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey for an indulgent touch.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the custard in advance and store it in the fridge overnight. For baking, preheat to 350°F and bake until golden.
