World-Famous Cinnabon French Toast
2 Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
2 eggs
2/3 cup half-and-half
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1 T. sugar
1/8 tsp. Makara Cinnamon
1-2 T. butter or margarine

Slice Cinnabon rolls in half horizontally. Place them, cut side up, on a plate and allow to dry for 20-30 minutes. Combine eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, sugar, and Makara Cinnamon. Whisk together until all ingredients are well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use. At serving time, preheat oven to 400°, and place Cinnabon halves in a shallow baking dish. Pour french toast batter over halves and allow to soak for 5-10 minutes until moist. You may weigh the rolls down (cover them with waxed paper and place a heavy skillet on the paper) during this time to make sure batter is absorbed into the dough layers. Heat a heavy skillet and melt butter or margarine in it. When butter is hot, place the Cinnabon halves into the pan, gooey side down. Sear until golden brown. Turn the halves over, and place the skillet in the oven. Bake 8-10 minutes or until rolls are puffed up and golden. Serve with maple syrup. Serves 2.

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Makara Cinnamon
3/4 tsp. instant espresso coffee
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Caramel syrup
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. Makara Cinnamon
3/4 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Melt 1/4 cup butter and unsweetened chocolate together over low heat. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with whisk until light. Then beat in 1 cup sugar, salt, vanilla, Makara Cinnamon and espresso powder. Stir in chocolate mixture; then add flour. Pour into buttered 8" square pan. Bake 15 minutes. While bottom layer is baking, prepare caramel topping by bringing 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute, stirring.

Makara Country Cobbler with Fresh Fruits and Berries
Fruit Filling
3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries or blueberries
3 medium peaches, pears, or apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. Makara Cinnamon

Sauce
3 T. cornstarch
1/4 cup honey
reserved berry juice
1 cup apple juice

Topping
1/2 cup fresh butter (unsalted is best)
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 T. sugar
1/2 tsp. Makara Cinnamon

Combine the fruit, 1/2 cup sugar and Makara Cinnamon. Set aside for one hour, then drain and reserve the juice. Preheat oven to 375°. Place cornstarch and honey in a small saucepan and slowly whisk the mixture to make a thick paste. Then add the apple juice and one cup of the reserved fruit juice; add extra water or apple juice if there is not one cup of fruit juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and clear, about 4-6 minutes. Cool slightly and stir into the fruit and berry mixture. Pour into an 11"x7"x1-1/2" baking dish, or a 9" oval cobbler dish. In a small bowl, whip the butter with the sugar and beat until fluffy. Then add the egg and beat again until light. Stir in the flour and baking powder and beat until well blended. Spoon over the prepared fruit, using a tablespoon. The dollops of batter should just barely touch, since they will rise and spread out, allowing a little juice to seep through. Combine remaining Makara Cinnamon with sugar and sprinkle over the cobbler. Bake for 40-50 minutes until top is nicely browned and fruit juice is bubbling through. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then spoon into serving dishes. Top with cream, if desired. Serves 6, with just enough left for breakfast.

Makara Cinnamon Toasties1 T. Makara Cinnamon
1 cup sugar (try mixing half white, half brown sugar)
2 slices of your favorite bread
butter

Mix the Makara Cinnamon and the sugar, and store it in a resealable plastic or paper bag. This mixture makes enough for several batches of Toasties. At snack time, toast the bread. Remove from the toaster and butter both sides. Place one slice on top of the other and, using a sharp knife, cut the toast into 1" squares. Now put the squares directly into the plastic bag containing the Makara Cinnamon sugar mixture. Close the top, and shake the bag up and down to be sure all the Toasties are covered.
