Cinnamon Raisin French Toast
Seems like this recipe is becoming a favorite around the house. As a result, I seem to be making it a lot and I have been able to try out different ingredients and pretty much perfect it. Most of all the frosting glaze that gets drizzles over the top of the hot french toast.
Personally I like the frosting to be thick and creamy because it reminds me of a cinnabon with extra frosting (Can you say yum?). But, If you like a thinner glaze all you have to do is add a little heavy cream until you get your desired consistency. As an added tip, I usually make the frosting the night before and store it in the fridge until morning.
