🍚 1/4 cup granulated sugar
🍦 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
🌿 2 teaspoons cinnamon
🧂 1/8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
🍞 15 slices of thick sliced Texas toast
🧈 Unsalted butter for greasing the griddle

Pecan Syrup Ingredients:
💧 1/2 cup water
🍂 1/2 cup brown sugar
🍚 1/2 cup granulated sugar
🧈 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
🥛 1 tablespoon heavy cream
🍦 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
🌰 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1- Prepare the Pecan Syrup:

• In a small non-stick saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup regular sugar, and 1/2 cup water.
• Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the syrup thickens and becomes bubbly. Keep warm.

2- Prepare the French Toast:

• In a cream-colored shallow large bowl, whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt until well combined.
• Dip each slice of Texas toast into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
• Heat a black-surfaced electric griddle to medium heat and grease with butter.
• Place the coated bread slices onto the hot griddle. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

3- Serve:

• Plate the warm French toast, drizzle generously with the prepared pecan syrup, and top with whipped cream from a Reddi-wip can.
• Dust with powdered sugar using a gold-colored sifter.
• Serve with fresh strawberries for added color and flavor.
