Croissant French Toast

I love French Toast more than a normal person should. I made this one night when I wanted French Toast but had no bread. I did have a croissant. So this is what came about. This is for one person so just multiply for the number of people you are making it for.

1 croissant
1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
Splash of milk couple drops of vanilla or any flavored extract you like
You can add cinnamon if you like I just didn't have any.

Crack the egg in a bowl big enough to fit the croissant in and whisk egg. Add sugar, milk and vanilla and mix together. Slice croissant horizontally into 3 slices. Drip the slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in hot butter pan. Cook on each side 2 to 3 minutes or until the egg is no longer wet. Top with powdered sugar and warm syrup.

Soda Cupcakes


I saw a similar recipe on Pepper Please
. I thought I could make them a little bit my own by using Rootbeer and orange cream soda.

1 box of vanilla cake mix
1 can of Rootbeer or orange cream soda
1 tablespoon of margarine
Milk
Powdered sugar
3 drops of Rootbeer concentrate or orange extract

Pour the box of cake mix into a bowl and add the can of soda. DO NOT add the eggs, oil etc. as directions on the box state. Bake as directed on the box. Allow to cool. Combine margarine, icing sugar, milk, concentrate/extract to make the icing. I used 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 tablespoon milk, and about a teaspoon of which ever flavoring you choose and add in the powdered sugar until you get a consistency/flavor you like. Mine turned out more like a glaze which made the cakes look fancy.
