Doughnut French Toast

This morning I woke tempted to try Nigella Lawsons ‘Doughnut French Toast. In other words French toast with a twist and it was topped with strawberry jelly – homemade at it. Since I didn’t have strawberries this morning I used jam instead – made it extra fine and not using as much icing sugar as the recipe required and voila I got me a sweet breakfast so sweet I wish I had someone to share it with hee hee…

According to Nigella Lawson in her show Nigella Express this recipe is all about strawberry filled donuts minus all the hard work and trust me she wasn’t kidding ..

As you can see from the recipe it uses quiet a lot of sugar so if you can’t handle a lot of sweetness I suggest you lessen the sugar to suit your taste buds like I did. I love sweetness but a little too much really unbalances the taste. If you like you could add a little cinnamon which adds a little spice to the mix - sugar and spice and all things nice ...

You can actually have this not just for breakfast but for supper but be warned this is not for the calorie watcher. Nigella had this just before bed talk about being bold

.. So anyways ..

Here is a picture of what I came up with using the recipe and below is the recipe. Happy trying and those with sweethearts – a sweet treat to make for your sweetie lol lord im getting all sweet now *grin*…
