From The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom
Jump to RecipeEver wondered what you get if you marry french toast and a doughnut? If you have ever had breakfast at The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom then you know what I’m talking about. The Puffed French Toast is always on my list of must have. Gloriously soft with a sugary exterior and of course I then drench it in syrup – after all calories don’t count when your on vacation right?
So of course I want to recreate this dish at home and I’m sure you do as well. The basic premise is you make a batter and dunk bread in the batter then fry. I use a pancake batter to make this scrumptious treat and let me tell you do not hold off when dunking. The more batter that is on your bread the more they puff up. This batter is simple to make and this recipe makes plenty I’d say about 10 servings.
If you are thinking I don’t need 10 portions of Puffed French Toast. 1. You are incorrect of course you do and 2. You can FREEZE it! Yes you read that correct these piece of cooked puffed french toast can hang out in your freezer. When you want to have them thaw them and reheat either in the oven or a dry frying pan. This saves time if you want them for a lazy breakfast or even a dessert.
This is the perfect brunch recipe it doesn’t take too long and it really tastes so good. and its so simple.
• Slice the bread into triangles.
• Mix up the batter.
• Heat the oil.
• Dunk the bread.
• Fry until golden and puffed.
• Drain and toss in cinnamon sugar.
I love to travel and I love eating whilst I travel. Whatever food I eat is intrinsically linked to my memories of the trip. Recreating the dishes in my kitchen definitely takes me straight back to the moment I discovered them. That is exactly what this puffed french toast does transports me to a happy magical place having breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. Whilst I can’t wait to be back with them making Pooh’s Puffed French Toast definitely makes me less ‘rumbly in my tummy.’
