Ingredients:
For the French Toast:
- 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work great)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of cannabis-infused butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
For the Cannabis-Infused Butter:
- 1/4 ounce of cannabis flower (decarboxylated*)
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
Instructions:
Making Cannabis-Infused Butter:
- Begin by decarboxylating your cannabis. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Place your cannabis flower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it for 40 minutes. This process activates the THC, making it psychoactive.
- Grind your decarboxylated cannabis into a fine consistency, but not too fine; a coarse grind is ideal for infusing.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is completely melted, add the ground cannabis.
- Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let it boil; you want it to simmer gently.
- Strain the butter through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a glass container, removing the plant material. Allow it to cool, and then refrigerate until it solidifies.
Making the French Toast:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted cannabis-infused butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This will be your French toast batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with some regular butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked.
- Place the dipped slices onto the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Once your French toast slices are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to remove any excess grease.
- Serve your cannabis-infused French Toast warm, garnished with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh berries if desired.
