Recipe from Amish girl in restaurant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.NOTES:
Do not increase the amount of ginger otherwise the sauce will be too tart.
I used fresh ground ginger which is much more tart than regular ground
ginger. I would recommend tasting the sauce before adding the mandarin
orange slices and add additional honey if required to decrease the somewhat
tartness of the honey-orange sauce. The sauce is on the tart side to
begin with. My bride prefers a topping such as regular pancake syrup!
I used one size larger Pyrex dish since my French toast slices were too
large for the 9 x 13 inch baking dish. |
