Sweet Tooth

It's hard living with a sweet tooth, when I lived with friends I never made desserts as I am prone to eat every bit until it is no longer. But as of late, my ability to restrain myself is overridden by my unnecessary need for sweets.


Sweet Sweet French Toast with a twist.
This one is very simple and definately a sweet tooths heaven.

Slices of older crunchy bread
Honey
Cinnamon and sugar
Apple
Egg

Slice the bread quite thick and soaked it in honey, only enough to cover it (lightly warm the honey as it spreads easier). The bread needs to be relatively solid or it will fall apart. Then let it sit for a bit. While that is resting finely slice an apple and coat it with sugar and cinnamon, then lightly cook it in a frying pan with butter. Once this is remove them from the pan and put them into a bowl. Then quickly dipthe bread into a whisked egg. Then cook it in butter in the same frying pan. Once cooked (which doesnt take long, as the honey will burn if left for too long) lightly sprinkle on some raw sugar, then place the apple on top.

It can be left like this or served with some marscapone, natural yoghurt or cream.



Visiting my Nannas place recently I was lucky enough to eat my way through one of her famous 'Apricot Pies', that is made from her home made pastry and home grown and stewed apricots.

I had some left over shortcrust pastry and was have a sugar craving, so I cooked it flat, then cut it into squares, then sliced strawberries and placed them on top and drizzled over some melted dark chocolate. Yummy, easy and a good way to use left over pastry.
