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.
- 2. Combine eggs, half/half, and salt. Beat slightly.
- 3. Dip bread into egg mixture, allowing bread pieces to absorb as much liquid as possible. (Use a spatula to remove bread from liquid)
- 4. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil to 325* Fry the bread in the 1/2 inch of oil until brown on one side then turn to brown the other side.
- 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.
- 7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and butter. Or Jam, Jelly, Preserves, Syrup, Honey, apple sauce, or..... Note I like adding a tad of pure vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Maxine likes adding cinnamon,
- 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...
