“I Love you Mommy because you make the goodest donuts!”This is what my 3 year old said passionately while chewing a mouth full of my French toast donuts.This is one of the recipes that blossomed while strolling through Whole Foods a couple days ago.I’ve been wanting to try brioche bread for a while now and finally picked up a good looking loaf at my new favorite place to shop.Talk about melt in your mouth fantastic, it’s light and buttery, almost like little slices of cake.
My little guys are head over heels in love with this recipe and I have to admit so am I. The recipe is as easy as can be, full of fat and will have you singing it’s so good. PLEASE try to find the brioche, it’s key here. No skimping on the cream either. Go all out for this one, trust me it’s worth it.
