••••FRENCH TOAST DONUTS••••

French Toast Donuts

Ingredients:

  • 3 glazed donuts (fresh or day-old), sliced in half lengthwise (like in photo above)
  • 1 extra large egg
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (I recommend using heavy cream and not another milk substitute. the thickness of the cream makes the batter thicker so that it doesn't completely get soaked into the donuts. if you're going to use milk or some other substitute you may need to also add more eggs)
  • syrup for topping

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl wide enough to fit donuts, mix heavy cream, egg and honey. Whisk until smooth.

2. Lightly grease your pan or griddle. Turn heat to medium. Once heated, working in batches, dip donut slices quickly into egg mixture until completely covered and then place onto pan (don't soak too long or donuts will get soggy). Cook for a few minutes on each side, until egg custard mixture is completely cooked and both sides are a light brown. Repeat with remaining donut slices.

3. Serve warm with syrup.
