Boatwright's French Toast

[ObsessedwithMickey]

During my January trip to the World, I stayed at POR and tried out Boatwright's for breakfast. I had heard how great the sweet potato pancakes were and decided to try them myself. Now, my girlfriend had to ruin my meal by ordering the French Toast. Her's was absolutely mouth-watering. It pPut my pancakes to shame, though they actually were very good. My girlfriend, who is a very picky eater, actually said it was the best thing she's ever eaten.
Any opinions on whether she and I just have poor taste in food or whether it really is that good?

Here are both recipes - so you can make them both at home.

Stuffed French Toast
from Boatwright's, Port Orleans Riverside
1 cup Milk
1 loaf Sourdough bread
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Bananas
Butter or Oil
1/2 cup Confection sugar
Syrup and Butter as desired
Combine milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla. Mix until blended. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Cut bread into 2 inch slices. Cut a 1/4 inch deep slit in each half to put half slice of banana. Dip in milk/egg mixture. Place in a hot skillet with oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan and roll in sugar and cinnamon.

Sweet Potato Pancakes With Pecan Honey Butter
Boatwright's at Disney's Port Orleans Resort.
Yield: 12-15 pancakes.
Pancakes:
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups milk
3 each eggs
6 Tblsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
12-oz. can sweet potato (canned or frozen), mashed

Pecan honey butter:
1 stick butter (at room temperature)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup toasted pecans

1. To make pecan honey butter, combine butter, honey and toasted pecans. Set aside.
2. To make the pancakes, combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir in milk and beaten eggs. Add oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in the mashed sweet potatoes (should result in a lumpy texture).
3. In a small nonstick frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in batter to desired size. Cook until dark brown (sweet potato pancakes take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes because of the density of the sweet potatoes).
4. Serve pancakes warm with pecan honey butter.
