Upgrade your breakfast game with this one-of-a-kind Hong Kong French Toast (HKFT). If you follow me on the 'gram, you're well aware of my infatuation with HKFT. This rendition takes a stack of bread slathered with dulce de leche, caramelized milk, that is dunked in a cereal milk & egg batter. It’s then fried to crispy perfection. While still warm, it is coated in sugar, brûléed, drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze & topped with crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If you would like to order the special tools needed for the recipe, I've included them below –– torch: https://amzn.to/3LWket5
