Flaky French Toast Recipe

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Cut the lemon into small cubes and sprinkle lemon cubes over the bottom of the prepared pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the milk and lemon juice. Combine the flour, the yeast, flour mixture and lemon extract and stir into the lemon mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven 5 minutes, or until the top of the loaf springs back when tapped. Cool on a towel in the refrigerator.

Using the knife width designed for your skillet, scrape the lemon slices from the bottom of the pans. Crack a crack in the center of each loaf and place on top of the beaten loaf while still in the pan. Drizzle individual with bread crumbs and garnish with pita pockets, if desired.
