Perfect for French toast, Brioche has a high egg and butter content, which gives it a rich and tender crumb.
Have you ever tasted a pancake made from scratch? If so, you know that the pancake born of dry mixes tastes like cardboard in comparison. My favorite homemade pancake gets its creamy taste from buttermilk and from bananas added to the batter on the griddle.
I first discovered Brioche when I made this Pain Perdu recipe by Gordon Ramsay. Brioche has a high egg and butter content, which gives it a rich and tender crumb. Sounds perfect for French toast. Indeed, in my opinion, the best bread for making this dish.
These Parisian-style street crêpes are the real deal. During my trip to Paris, France, I discovered how wonderful, yet simple crêpes could be. The key ingredient to making these crêpes authentic is to use butter imported from France, such as Président.
