Oatmeal And Raisins Cream And Sugar
French Toast Caramel Syrup
Follow directions given in Lesson 1, adding 1/2 c raisins, scalded and chopped, or else sprinkling chopped raisins over the top of the cereal as it is served.
Boil 1 c sugar with 1/2 c water until it becomes golden brown in color. Great care must be taken after the syrup begins to turn color that it does not burn.
When the right color is reached add slowly and carefully 1/2 c boiling water. This must be done carefully because the very high temperature of the syrup will raise that of the water so rapidly that violent boiling ensues. If the syrup is too thick add more water, if too thin add a little more sugar and boil a few minutes. Just after removing from the fire add 1/2 t vanilla.
For French Toast see Lesson 7.
While the cereal is cooking make the Caramel Syrup, if not already on hand, then the French Toast and the Coffee.
