A different twist on french toast

[shawn116]

I finally got around to trying this recipe for french toast made with pork rinds this morning...I have to say I was very surprised how it came out!  No really!!  LOL  It was pretty darn good.  This will make 3 to 4 nice size pancakes depending on how you split it up.  Mine made 4 and I only ate 2.  I had it topped with Walden Farms maple syrup and a couple of slices of bacon.   I plan on trying to make a bread pudding with the rest if I can find some time today... I couldn't remember where I found it and I'm not sure if this is the original poster/creator of this recipe because you can find it all over if you google it.  I think this is the original though:  http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/recipes/recipe-bread13.html

This does not taste like it is made with pork rinds in the slightest little bit if you don't use the brands that have the heavy pork rind flavor.  There are some brands that I can't eat because of the pork rind smell or taste...so I'm picky with what brand I buy.
