- 1 loaf of sliced sourdough, slightly older will hold together best. Other breads may work well too.
- 6 eggs
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 150ml cream
- ~50g cream cheese
- 1½ tbsp icing sugar
- Whip the cream, cheese and sugar for maybe 5-10 mins (probably longer with a hand-whisk) until it gets really thick and floofy. Refrigerate until serving.
- Combine batter ingredients and whisk well in a shallow, wide bowl. The salt component supposedly helps it absorb into the bread(?)
- Preheat pan with butter, medium-high to high heat. If the heat is too low, the egg wont completely set, and too high and the outside will blacken, so try a single piece of toast or two before cooking a panful
- Soak a few pieces of bread in the batter for 20-30 seconds and transfer direct from bowl to hot frying pan
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping a few times, until it looks a bit like a cooked, browned pancake.
- Slap it on a plate, with the cream and maple syrup or whatever toppings you like and enjoy!
- Many other toppings, including icing sugar, ice cream, chocolate syrup, berries, agave nectar. Anything that's good on a pancake will probably be great here.
