Recipe Notes
- I used 8 Pandesal from this recipe. If using sandwich bread or brioche, you may need 8-10 (depending on the thickness of your bread.
- Instead of strawberry syrup, you can use maple syrup or even pancake syrup. You an even skip those and dust the top with powdered sugar.
- I didn’t add sugar in the egg-milk mixture because the syrup is already sweet. If you want to add sugar, add it as per your preference.
- I used cold Pandesal so I had to soak it longer to slightly absorb the egg-milk mixture.
