The Best French Toast Ever!

Several weeks ago at our MOPS meeting, the lady in charge of the kitchen at the church prepared french toast for us mommies.  I was completely blown away at my first bite.  I had never tasted french toast like this before.  There was something different & amazing about it, but I couldn't put my finger on it.  It almost had a sweet and salty taste.  Might sound weird, but it was sooo good!

I asked Reba what she had done to make her french toast.  She listed some of the usual ingredients - eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla.  And, then she told me her secret ingredient.  And, I'll bet you could never guess this in a million years, because it sure surprised me.  She also uses adobo!  For those of you who don't know, this is a seasoning typically used in latino dishes.

Well, I immediately went out and bought some adobo seasoning and tried it when mixing french toast at home.  It is so yummy!   And, this is how I will make my french toast from now on.  Incidentally, Reba used to own a restaurant and she said she used adobo on a lot of her meats...nothing else, just the adobo.  And, she would consistently get comments and rave reviews about the flavor.

Now,  I need to let you in on another secret.  I also came across a recipe for home-made syrup at another blog.  I thought I remembered which blog but now I can't find it when I search that blog.  So, I'd love to give recognition where it is due.  If it was your blog where I found this, please let me know & I'll include a link.  Anyway, here is the recipe for home-made syrup.  Drizzle this yumminess over this french toast yumminess and you've got pure bliss!

Home-made Syrup
1 cube butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda

The recipe says to combine all ingredients except the vanilla & bring to a boil.  I found it worked better for me if I did it this way...Bring all ingredients except vanilla & baking soda to a boil.  Add baking soda & boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Serve.

  1. It's not from my blog, but I've used that same recipe, and it's the BEST. I agree with adding the b. soda later, it makes it too foamy if you add it earlier.
    I live here in AZ, so I'm headed out to get that stuff if it's that good!
