¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup buttermilk

¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup pecans (or use oatmeal)
¼ tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Mix the topping ingredients together and sprinkle over the batter.

Overnight Cinnamon Raisin French Toast

2 TBS butter
5 Golden Delicious Apples, sliced
¼ cup brown sugar
3 TBS apple juice (water is okay, too)
1 loaf of cinnamon/raisin bread
3 cups milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
10 large eggs
1 TBS additional butter
2 TBS sugar

Melt 2 TBS of butter in skillet and cook apples about 20 minutes until golden. Add apple juice (water) last minute. Grease 3-4 qt or 13”X9” baking pan. Arrange ½ of the bread slices in pan, overlapping slightly. Mix the milk, salt, cinnamon and eggs really well. Pour half of egg mixture over bread. Reserve ¼ of the apple slices, and then spread the remaining apple mix over the bread in an even layer. Arrange remaining bread in another layer, and then pour the remaining egg mixture over that. Press the bread gently, if needed, to help it absorb the egg mixture. Dot the top with the 1 TBS of butter and sprinkle on sugar. Cover and chill overnight.

Bake the next day at 325f, uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Reheat reserved apple mixture and spoon over the top of the French toast as it’s served.
