French Toast (Finnish Rich Knights)

finnish-richknightsFinland Rich Knights are delicious little French toast treats with whipped cream and a berry topping. In Finland the topping would likely be loganberry or cloudberries. If you don’t put any topping , they are known as Poor Knights. Served with a robust cup of coffee, it is a lovely ending to a Finnish meal. It would be great for breakfast too.
