IHOP French Toast with Coconut Syrup

This has to be the best breakfast recipe find this year. This gem comes from one of my favorite blogs.  When I first saw "coconut syrup" I was a little skeptical, but was I wrong. Last week I mixed it up by using Mexican vanilla instead of cocnut extract, but hands down the coconut syrup is the best! The flour you add to the french toast recipe really does the trick. I like to use Texas Toast for my french toast, but the Sisters like to use italian bread, so do what makes you happy. Give this recipe a try, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

IHOP Freanch Toast

from The Sister's Cafe

2 eggs

½ c. milk

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

3 T. flour

6 slices of thick sliced French bread

First beat eggs, then add remaining ingredients with electric mixer. Dip both sides of bread and place in hot buttered pan, or griddle. Flip over when browned. Serve with Coconut Syrup.

Coconut Syrup

1/2 cup butter

3/4 c. buttermilk

1 c. sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a large pot (when you add the baking soda, it will bubble up!!). Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving.
