Lorilyns Deep Fried Stuffed French Toast Recipes

SOUTHERN FRIED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Mix the flour and the baking powder together.
• Add the eggs and mix until it a smooth paste.
• Add milk gradually until it reaches the consistency of pancake batter.
• Add vanilla and cinnamon.
• Heat a frying pan with 1/2" of oil over medium heat.
• Dip pieces of bread into the batter.
• Gently place the bread into the oil, fry until golden on each side.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Serve with warm syrup and butter.
• I use Ming Tsai's 8-Spice Powder instead of cinnamon, it's got cinnamon, allspice, anise, cardamom, ginger, fennel, clove and cumin in it.
• I got mine at Target, it adds a very exotic flavor.

DEEP FRIED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, followed by the flour; whisk until smooth.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until the egg has penetrated through to the center of the bread. Wipe off the excess egg. Cook in the deep-fryer several pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown on both sides and no longer soggy in the center, about 4 minutes. Drain the French toast on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

DEEP FRIED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients first,then add Milk and Eggs.
• Beat all ingredients well.
• Cut Bread in half.
• Dip Bread into batter and fry in 1/2 inch oil ultil light brown.
• My personal preference is using Hawaian Bread in lieu of regular white Bread, really sweet, but has a great flavor, a very nice change from the same ol same ol. I also love to sprinkle cinnamon on the dipped Bread just before frying, my family loves cinnamon on our French Toast.
• You could also sprinkle some Powdered sugar on top when ready to serve.

DEEP FRIED GRANOLA FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat frying oil to 365 degrees, if not in a deep fryer make sure you have enough oil to float the toast.
• Combine dry ingredients (without granola) in a mixing bowl.
• Add milk, egg, and vanilla to the dry ingredients bowl and whisk until well blended.
• If your mixing bowl is not flat enough to allow proper dipping of the toast pieces, transfer your mix to a pie pan or other flat bottom dish.
• Place granola on a plate or other dish to make coating toast easier.
• Using a bread or serrated knife, slice each toast piece in half diagonally. Press lightly and let the knife do the work to avoid squishing the bread.
• Dip the toast in the batter mix, flipping to coat both sides. Depending on preference you can let some batter drip off or whip off on edge of dish before next step, but be sure to leave enough to coat the surface and pick up the granola.
• The goal of this step is to pick up just a little granola. Place the battered toast on the bed of granola, press lightly. Flip and press lightly again. You can also sprinkle the granola on or spread it out with your fingers for an even coating.
• Place prepared toast in fryer basket and when basket is full (mine allows 4 pieces) place in fryer oil. You could add one piece at a time, just personal preference here. Do not overlap or stack, leave room, this is not like frying fries. You need room for these to float in the oil and for the oil to cook the edges.
• Allow bread piece to cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown (on the side in the oil). Flip and cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Remove toast from frying and place on a plate covered with a paper towel. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar while still fresh from the fryer.
• Continue battering, coating, and frying until all pieces are done.
• Also, when serving you can drizzle in syrup.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Spread 8 of the bread slices with cream cheese and the other 8 with preserves.
• Put them together (with the fillings inside).
• Beat the eggs with the cinnamon, salt, sugar and cream and vanilla.
• Dip each "sandwich" in the batter to coat lightly.
• Then, dip in the crushed cornflakes to coat.
• Melt the butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat and fry the sandwiches until they are golden brown on both sides.
• Add more butter as needed.
• Remove the finished toast to a platter in a warm oven or chafing dish.
• Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve with more butter and warm maple syrup or fruit sauce.
