    Pain Perdu is a deep-fried version of French Toast.

    Ingredients

    • 5 eggs
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons orange flower water or orange juice
    • 1 teaspoon grated, fresh orange rind
    • 8 half-inch thick sliced of day-old French or Italian bread*
    • 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
    • powdered sugar
    • .

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, beat eggs, salt, and sugar until frothy. Add milk, orange flower water and orange rind, mix until combined.
    2. Place bread in a shallow baking pan. Pour egg mixture over bread; let soak for 1/2 hour.
    3. In a heavy skillet, melt shortening. Fry bread 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
    4. Serve either with powdered sugar or your favorite syrup.
    5. * Some people prefer the bread with the crusts removed.
    6. I thinks the crust is the best part.
