Christmas Day breakfast

I want to have something special for breakfast, but I don’t want a bunch of leftovers or hassle This looks like it will work. I have some precious pure maple syrup in the pantry that’s burning a hole in my pocket. I can’t wait to use it. The recipe comes highly rated from Allrecipes.com

Jennie,
Also got an e-mail from cooking light and they have a diet friendlier version in myrecipes.com. It looked pretty good also.
Will someone please tell me why can no Erie restaurant have no idea how to make a good French Toast. Everyone of them to the lazy two egg lightly coated bread, it is apsolutely awlful. Appeartantly, it is too hard and expensive to add a bit of milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla to make it more custard-like, and way more appealing to the foodie. It really makes me sad. And why you can not find more crepes around town?
