French Toast Flowers! | 31 Crafty Flowers in 31 Days - Day 27
Day Twenty-Seven-We're still in flower heaven!
Today's flower tutorial for 31 Crafty Flowers in 31 Days is fun and yummy and a perfect way to celebrate the arrival of summer!
I think it would be so fun to make these from French Toast, but for simplicity in the tutorial I just used regular toast which is a little quicker and turned out cute too!
Here's what you need to get started:
-Whole wheat bread
-Butter
-Decorative Sugar
-Flower shaped cookie cutter
-soda bottle cap
-knife
-French toast recipe & ingredients (if making french toast)
Step One
While bread is toasting (or french toast is cooking) cut a 1/4 inch pat of butter for each toast flower you will be making.
Step Two
Use your soda cap to make little round pats of butter for the center of your toast flowers.
This works best if the butter is firm but not rock hard, so let it sit out for a few minutes before beginning.
Step Three
Once your toast is ready, center the cookie cutter over it and press firmly.
Before you lift the cookie cutter, pull away the scraps of toast on the outside.
Tip:
Don't throw these scraps away! Throw them in a baggie and store them in the freezer. The next time you need bread crumbs for a recipe just toss the scraps into the food processor and you've got homemade bread crumbs! (You can do this with the heels of the bread as well.)
Step Four
Now add your pat of butter to the center of your toast flower!
For a special treat, you can sprinkle sanding sugar or decorative sugar on the butter centers.
Step Six
Cut freehand leaves with your knife.
Step Seven
Now put together your toasty flowers!
This would make a fun birthday or holiday breakfast treat!
For dad, on Father's Day, you could use a fish or sports themed cutter!
Have Fun!
Grace & Peace,
