The aroma of musk has long been used in perfumery and cooking. The Elizabethans and Stuarts considered it to be an aphrodisiac. Originally it can from animal glands, but a number of plants also have the musk aroma. This recipe uses musk mallow seeds to flavour a traditional breakfast French toast, bringing back a long-lost spice sensation to the kitchen.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp ground
musk mallow seeds
3 eggs
120ml orange juice
1/8 tsp salt
6 slices of
Breads
honey or maple syrup to drizzle (optional)
Method:
Cream together the butter, honey and musk mallow seeds in a bowl then spread to cover the base of a greased 30 x 22 cm baking pan. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, orange juice and salt. Pour into a shallow pan. Dip the Breads slices in this and turn to coat both sides then allow to sit for about 1 minute to absorb some of the egg mixture.
Sit the coated bread slices in the prepared pan then place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and invert the contents of the pan onto a serving plate. Serve with honey or maple syrup.
