French Toast?

[AfroBob]

Hello,

I am thinking of trying out both of these. Have any of you tried these?

French Toast

Ingredients:
1/2 of a 3-oz. bag of unflavored pork rinds
2 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 pkts Splenda®
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon egg nog extract [optional]


Crumble pork rinds up until they resemble bread crumbs (use your food processor if you like - or put them in a Ziploc bag - air removed - and roll them with a rolling pin.) Set aside.

Beat eggs well and then mix with remaining ingredients and beat again. Add crushed pork rinds to the egg/cream mixture and allow to sit for approximately 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken to a "gloppy" phase during this time.

Meanwhile, heat skillet or griddle with butter or oil, and when hot, fry pancake style until golden brown on both sides. Serve with your favorite low-carb maple syrup (DaVinci, Keto, Atkins, Howards, etc, etc.)

If you don't tell someone who eats them, they will never have a CLUE that these little french toast pancakes are made with pork rinds. And everyone loves 'em. Really. Yeah, really. Would I kid you?

Less than 1 carb per serving.

Cinnamon Crispas

Ingredients:
1 bag (full size -- 3-4 oz.) plain pork rinds
15 pkgs Splenda
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Drizzle melted butter over the rinds or put in a plastic bag and shake well to coat. Mix Splenda and cinnamon in a paper bag, then drop pork rinds into bag and shake, shake, shake!

If they become soft or soggy later, put them in a warm oven and let them crisp up again.

Serves 4. 3 carbs per serving.

Well, I've made the French Toast recipe, anyway, as have many here on this Forum I believe (have you searched about for comments?).

Might be my particular brand, but the 2nd time I made the French Toast, I added an egg and maybe a quarter cup of water (bit salty and not enough soaking liquid). I had used the plain pork rinds from the Superstore here in Canada.

Good luck and enjoy.

Well, the French toast doesn't much appeal to me because I LOVE pork rinds and I'd rather just scramble the eggs and have the rinds on the side. The Cinnamon Crispas, however, sound yummy (like the cinnamon thingies you get at Taco Bell) and I think I'll give those a try :)

I held out on trying the mock french toast(I swear- if anyone had told me before low-carb that I'd be making french toast from pork rinds, I'd have thought they were nuts!)but I made it this past weekend and it was surprisingly good!

As for those crispas - you really only need about 5pks splenda and a teaspoon of cinnamon -seriously!:)

I tried to make the cinnamon "crisps" and EW they turned out bad....I think I'll take your advise and SHAKE them in a big, then bake. I just dumped it on top, and man....it turned out a big mess :/
