Ingredients

Ingredients (from the Joy of Cooking)

8 slices of Sally Lunn or other sweet bread (like challah or brioche)

4 eggs

3/4 cup of half and half (or cream and milk or just 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sugar (I used syrup)

1/4 teaspoon salt

butter as needed

Preparation

Whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt and maple syrup. Heat a pan on medium heat with a little butter. Dip in the pieces of bread. I let them soak in the mixture for a little because the slices of Sally Lunn were pretty thick and a little dry. Shake off the excess egg and fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve with a little butter and a lot of maple syrup. I didn't add any confectioner's sugar because they were sweet enough (although I am sure it would have made for a fancy picture).
