Baked French Toast Ends in Domestic Fight....

This past weekend we had a family holiday in Darbyshire and I decided to bring an easy bake recipe for breakfast as we had over twelve people staying.  Baked French Toast is easy to prepare ahead and can just be popped into the oven the next morning to be served...

What I forgot to take into account is that I have moved countries... so besides funny measurements some basic ingredients just do not exist.  After packing up the car and the pooch I send the hubby into the grocer to pick up what I needed, and that is when the problems started (fueled additionally that there was no cell service inside so hubby couldn't call for help...)

Baked French Toast (Or something like English Brown Butter Pudding)

Ingredients:
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream -Doesn't exist in England
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter- England sells butter in packages of 250g
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup- Doesn't exist in England

So after 40+ minutes in the store an exasperated hubby came back with the best he could substitute.  Then it was up to me to fake the rest of it. 

English Substitutions for Baked French Toast

*Sub 2.75 cups of milk for the previous 2 cups

*Sub 3/4cup of cream for half and half

*250g of butter equals one cup, so weigh out 190g of butter- if you don't have a scale then pack roughly 3/4 of a cup because its butter and no one is going to care if you have a bit too much!

*Sub golden syrup for light corn syrup

And for the rest of the recipe:

Directions
Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of bread in the bottom. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup; heat until bubbling. Pour over bread and egg mixture.
Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.

Hope you enjoy this cheap, easy and tasty treat and I have prevented any rows that may have occurred.
