Classic strawberry french toast

This isn't anything too special. I just really liked the plating and took a picture that came out nice :).

Recipe for french toast:

thick bread

~ 1/4 c. milk for every 2 eggs

cinnamon

Strawberry Syrup:

strawberries

sugar

water

corn starch to thicken

lemon zest & juice

For the syrup, I found that adding the lemon was crutial that it elevated the taste to a whole nother level!!! :) Otherwise, it would have just been disgustingly sweet. The lemon gives it a bit more balance.

When adding the corn starch, first dissolve the powder into a bit of water instead of just putting it in the liquid. By just adding the power in, the hot liquid would cook the corn starch and cause gelatinous clumping.

I also have seen french toast made using heavy cream instead of milk. I think I'm going to try that another time and see how it turns out. Sounds good, that's why!
