Salted butterfor buttering the pan and topping your toast
Instructions
Warm butter in a large frying pan on medium-low heat.
Blend the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract until evenly mixed and transfer to a shallow dish like a pie plate for dipping your bread.
If you like a more egg-y French toast, stab your bread with a fork to create some small holes. (Translation: more nooks and crannies for our tasty egg mixture to permeate the bread. This creates a richer treat, like bread pudding!)
Dip your toast into the egg mixture evenly on either side and cook on each side until golden brown. Resist the urge to press down on the toast with your spatula. Pressing down will make the toast dense and hard - we like our toast to be fluffy!
While the toast is going, prepare the syrup. Crush the lavender buds, muddle the blackberries, then gently mix it all together with the maple syrup.
Once your toast is ready, plate it all up, top with the lavender blackberry syrup and enjoy!
