Susan is here today with another of her great recipes:  Cornbread French Toast!

Last night, I did something that is a weekly occurrence.  I re-purposed leftovers…making my leftovers into another meal….only different.

Cornbread French Toast  Re-purposing Leftovers

This time, I made some beef stew out of a roast I made a few days ago.  I always save the juices from a roast or a roasted chicken to use later for soup or stew. 

In the case of chicken, you can easily scrape the fat off the top of some beautiful chicken stock concentrate (after it gets cold).   If I don’t have a chance to make a soup that week, I will freeze the juices to use later. 

I never have to buy chicken broth and rarely do I have to buy beef broth because of this.  But I digress. I decided to make some corn muffins to eat with our hearty beef stew last night.  I will give you the stew recipe later because today I want to show you what to do with leftover cornbread for breakfast.

I was in the mood for pancakes or French Toast and decided to make my cornbread into a sweet breakfast treat.  It hit the spot. I used one small section to crumble up in my milk.  Have you ever done that?  On the farm in West Texas, cornbread crumbled in milk is often done with leftover cornbread.

Cornbread crumbled in milk.

It makes a great tasting breakfast or evening treat.  Yum! First, here is my Cornbread Recipe.  It is not an original.  I copied it from the back of the Pioneer Corn Meal bag for Corn Sticks. (Thanks Army Wife for bringing home things from your pantry.)

Here are some gluten free recipes you might like:

It is a recipe that holds together nicely.  Some cornbread crumbles apart too easily and those would not work for this morning’s treat.  I think this one works well because it has only 1/3 cup of flour.

PIONEER CORN MUFFINS (Makes 6)

Who doesn’t love a warm cornbread muffin?

Preheat oven to 420. 

In a muffin tin, put 1/2 tbsp of butter in 6 of the muffin slots. 

Stick pan in the oven until butter is bubbly. 

While the butter is melting, mix the rest of the ingredients. 

Pull it out and fill the tin with batter (making 6) and cook for about 20-25 minutes.

CORN BREAD FRENCH TOAST

Slice the corn muffins into thirds.

Mix the sugar, cinnamon and egg until well blended, using that little whisk that you never know what to do with because of it’s size. 

Heat the butter in a skillet. 

Dip the muffin into the mixture on both sides and cook it in the hot butter (on both sides). 

Pour any leftover egg mixture on top of the cooking cornbread pieces.
