I have made French toast since I was 12 years old cooking breakfast for myself and my two younger sisters. French Toast was on the menu most mornings. You know it is easy if a 12-year-old can do it. I never followed a recipe. I just cracked 2 eggs, added milk, and mixed with a fork. I heated my mother’s cast iron skillet to a medium high heat. Then dropped a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet. As the butter heated I just dipped the bread into the egg mixture and threw it in the skillet. Perfection with some syrup. I could do this in less than ten minutes!
Cream Puffs or Choux Pastry can be intimitating to some when it comes to baking, but yet they are really simple. It could take a couple of times baking them to get the hang of it, but on the positive side even the bad puffs are good! My high school students were amazed when I made these melt in your mouth puffs of cream. The topic of the day is leavening agents and this particular one is steam. The amount of steam could be a problem , but I will cover that later in some hints to follow when making the perfect Choux Pastry.
I don’t know many people who don’t love chicken fingers especially children. In my case it is teenagers and GI Joe and I’m telling you that my students loved these. I found the recipe in the magazine Dash that sometimes comes in the Sunday paper. It has everything that cooks love. They are easy and delicious. I almost forgot these chicken fingers are baked.
