鋼のフレンチト-スト
Yield: 6 portions
1 c. dark brown sugar 1/2 c. butter 2 T. light corn syrup 12 ea. slices white bread, crusts trimmed 1 1/2 c. whole milk 6 ea. eggs 1 t. vanilla 1/4 t. salt
Combine butter, sugar and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is dissolved and sugar has melted, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil. Pour into 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish, turning to coat the sides. Allow to cool. Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla and salt. Set aside. Arrange six pieces of bread over cooled butter & sugar mixture. Pour half of egg and milk mixture over bread, lay down remaining bread slices, pour remaining egg mixture over everything. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered until bread is golden and puffy or an inserted knife comes out clean, approx. 40 to 50 mins. Allow to rest for five minutes, turn out upside down, cut into slices and serve.
Note from GG: So who said that you can't learn anything from anime? I never did, and neither should anyone else. This recipe was pulled directly from episode 20something of Hagane no Renkinjutsu (Fullmetal Alchemist), and thus I gave it the name "Hagane no French Toast." I have no idea who wrote this or where it may have come from originally, but if I did, I'd totally give them credit because it puts a whole new twist on french toast. Basically, the sugar/butter mix that you pour in the baking dish will become your syrup (and could easily be gussied up with the addition of some maple flavouring), the bread will soak up all liquid by sitting overnight (thus yielding a fluffy but firm texture) and it would come out looking way fancier than the usual "triangles and powdered sugar" that we've all grown accustomed to. My only suggestion would be to find a fairly hearty bread to use here, like an Pullman or potato bread, so that it doesn't break down overnight. (Your Wonder Bread can stay right where it is, ready for use in something more suitable, like a bologna sandwich with American cheese and Miracle Whip.) This is the only recipe that I've not tested yet, but it *looks* totally viable. I wouldn't doubt that it'd come out just fine. がんばってね!
