  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits
    8 large eggs
    4 cups milk
    2 tablespoons vanilla
    2 tablespoons dark rum

    Preheat oven to 250°F.
    In a large heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook 2 or 3 slices (or as many as will fit in one layer) 3 minutes on each side, or until puffed and golden brown. Transfer French toast as cooked to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
    Cook remaining slices in remaining butter in same manner. Sprinkle French toast with cinnamon sugar and serve with accompaniments.
