Wow, was this good. It was so quick and easy to make. The hard part was the waiting. This recipe makes the most amazing caramel topping for the light, fluffy and tender french toast. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe Lazyme. This is going into my keeper box. I can't wait to treat myself with this tasty treat again.
