Here’s my version of French toast with some lovely sautéed pears and a custard using Pernod (very French, oui?) and some other boozy flavors, inspired by my Ugly But Good cookie, with almonds, orange zest and anise seed. I’m not crazy about zest in my custard, so I opted for orange liqueur instead. And I’m starting to like Pernod. Initially, I hated it, but I’m sure it had something to do with the fact that I chugged it down like a shot of tequila. Don’t do that. - mrslarkin
