Saturday Morning Breakfast


This is not something that you should eat everyday, but it's pretty tasty. I had been eyeing this recipe for years now, but having to deep fry things early in the morning isn't always very appealing. I finally got around to trying this out one Saturday and it was well worth the wait! Everyone loved it!

Terrier Toasters from Neiman Marcus' cookbook No Jacket Required

1 loaf Kings Hawaiian Bread or Challah
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teas vanilla
1 tbs maple syrup
cooking oil for deep frying
whipped butter to top toast
powdered sugar to top toast
cinnamon to top toast
sweet ground chocolate to top toast

Cut bread into 2 inch cubes, discarding the crust. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, vanilla and syrup. Pour oil 2 1/2 inches deep into a deep pot. Slowly warm oil until it reaches a near boil. Quickly dip the bread cubes into the batter (do this quickly or it will soak up all your batter!) and submerge them in oil, using tongs. Fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and place on a serving tray. Smother with whipped butter and top with powdered sugar, cinnamon and chocolate.

Note: Nathaniel just used syrup and powdered sugar on his--yummy!
