Kid-Friendly Torrijas Without Sherry

Asked Jul 15, 2020 by Adam N.

I just made the milk street recipe for torrijas and thoroughly enjoyed it. The issue was my kids did not dig the sherry at all. Any ideas for a substitute so the toast doesn’t have any boozy taste? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Update 1:

    I had another go at the recipe today. A smashing hit! Kids said it’s best French toast they ever had. And that’s saying a lot as we’re fans of breakfast at any time. I swapped in a cup of heavy cream and 2 TB of vanilla extract. That cream mixture with confectioners sugar, vanilla, orange zest and orange juice was so good. They literally were licking up the mixture from the tray like we were making brownies.
