Ingredients
For Baileys French toast:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish cream (60 milliliters)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/8 cup heavy cream (30 milliliters), see note 1
- 6 slices of thick-cut bread , see note 2, 3 & 4
For Baileys whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream , chilled (250 milliliters), see note 5
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish cream (60 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons powder sugar , see note 6
Instructions
For Baileys French Toast:
- In a wide deep plate/bowl, beat together, eggs, Baileys, cinnamon, syrup and heavy cream.
- Dip each bread in the mixture and cook on a lightly oiled/buttered griddle (preferred and quicker) or large frying pan/skillet on both sides, about 3 minutes in total (see note 7).
- Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
For Baileys Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together chilled heavy cream, Baileys liquor and sugar until stiff (or to your liking). This will give you about 1.5 cups of whipped cream, plenty for 4-6 people (1 scoop per person).
Notes
- Heavy cream/double cream/whipping cream is cream with around 35% fat content. You can substitute this will lower-fat content, but it might have quite a thin consistency. However, for the Baileys whipped cream, you need to use heavy cream as lower fat content will not whip well.
- This recipe yields up to 6 French toasts (when using thick-cut bread). It yields 3 generous portions or 4 small (counting with 1.5 slices of bread per person).
- Don’t soak your bread too long in the egg mixture. This will pro-long cooking time as well as reduce the number of toasts you get from 1 batch. Just quickly dip on both sides and cook.
- Either fresh or a day (or 2) old bread can be used.
- Thin bread will also work.
- Powder sugar = icing sugar = confectioner’s sugar. The quantity of sugar can be increased/decreased to your liking.
- Cooking time may vary.
- The nutritional information is calculated for 1 thick french toast.
