Back to school
means back to rushed morning routines for many of us. So why not slow down this
weekend and enjoy a delicious and decadent breakfast treat? Pain Perdu from At Your Service (p 46 ) is a simple and quick recipe that
provides a tasty beginning to your day.
Pain perdu or "lost bread" in French, is a great way
to reclaim stale or "lost" bread. The hard bread is softened by
dipping in a mixture of egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. The slices cut
on a bias are pan-fried in butter and traditionally dusted with powdered sugar
and served with jam or syrup on the side.
