I think this must come from the Union Pacific Railroad. My cousin Maxine gave me the recipe millions of years ago, Well. she's a million years old, I am just a thousand years old. LOL We both are from when traveling by train was the way most families traveled across the USA. I wish everyone could see how beautiful this country...

Steps:

  • 1. Use firm homemade or french bread (day old). Trim crusts and cut bread diagonally into triangles.

  • 3. Dip bread into egg mixture, allowing bread pieces to absorb as much liquid as possible. (Use a spatula to remove bread from liquid)

  • 5. Puff the bread in the oven, preheated to 400*, for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 6. Drain on a paper brown paper bags (you can use paper towels) to absord excess fat.

  • 8. Did a little research on the recipe. Found out it is the original Santa Fe Dining Car recipe... :) I loved eating in the Dining cars...they seemed to have the best food. My favorite dinner was Roast Turkey...

The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cinnamon and sugar topping was the perfect finishing touch.
