SPANISH-STYLE FRENCH TOAST WITH ANISE SYRUP (TORRIJAS)
Steps:
- For the anise syrup: Combine 1 1/2 cups water with the sugar, honey, orange zest, salt and cinnamon sticks in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, about 3 minutes. Boil for 1 minute, then reduce to low heat and simmer until the mixture reduces to a thin syrup, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond and anise extracts.
- For the Spanish-style French toast (torrijas): Slice the baguette on the bias into 1-inch thick slices. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Dip the bread in the mixture and soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute (do not let the bread get too soggy).
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the soaked bread in batches until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.
- Place the torrijas on a slightly concave or rimmed serving platter and cover fully with the Anise Syrup. Let soak at least 20 minutes before serving, if time allows. Serve warm or at room temperature sprinkled with a bit of the flaky sea salt.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like sourdough or French bread will hold up well to the anise flavor and prevent the toast from becoming soggy.
- Use real anise seeds: Ground anise seeds will give the toast a more intense flavor than anise extract.
- Toast the anise seeds: Toasting the anise seeds before using them will bring out their flavor and aroma.
- Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter will allow you to control the amount of salt in the toast.
- Spread the butter evenly: This will help the toast to brown evenly.
- Toast the bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the toast is cooked through and has a crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
Anise toast is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are using a classic recipe or experimenting with different variations, anise toast is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
