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 (1/2 inch thick)
1-1/4 cups crushed cornflakes
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
SYRUP:
1-1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk

Directions

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° 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. Yield: 6-8 servings.
