Tapped right in Wisconsin when winter turns to spring, the
third generation company at Maple Hollow has been making quality maple products
since 1889.
From its nutty, vanilla, or floral flavors to hints of
coffee and even spice, real maple syrup is just that—real. And as an avid
eater—who isn’t?—it’s incredibly easy to spot an imposter with just one bite.
Maple Hollow’s New Cinnamon Maple Syrup was just the choice
for a crunchy French toast I’ve been a bit obsessed with lately. (There’s an
entire stick of cinnamon in the infused bottle by the way). Although I’m typically
heavy handed in the cinnamon I add to the egg batter, I was clearly able to hold out this time. Sweet
and spicy, the syrup does all the work for you.
In a flat dish, I whisk up three eggs, the cinnamon maple
syrup, cardamom and a hint of vanilla extract, vanilla bean if available. Add milk and half and half until
the mixture looks a bit foamy. I use King’s Hawaiian bread here, and I’ll never
go back. Pull it from the loaf or rip those mini buns in half for bite size French
toast pieces. Dip, let soak and press one side of the bread gently into a corn-flake
mixture. You could also use maple or vanilla-flavored cereals here. Place on a
skillet and cook through.
Top it with butter, some super thin slices of apple or a handful of
blackberries. Add a bit more Maple Hollow Cinnamon Syrup on top, and call it a day.
