Pain perdu:
here is to finding your bread with jam and without the “préservatifs”
Pain perdu literally means “lost bread” but the loose translation means to make use of old bread. To Americans “pain perdu” is “French bread” and eaten at breakfast with maple syrup. In France pain perdu is enjoyed as a dessert or by children for their afternoon goûter. It is not served with syrup but with homemade confiture(or jam as we know it). While many recipes embellish pain perdu with nuts, liquors, zests, fancy butters and/or syrups (and that is all good) we are making pain perdu with classic French simplicity and this easy and delicious dessert is this week’s simple pleasure.
