MINNEAPOLIS — Do you know what they call French toast in France? Shocker, it's not just "toast," it is called "pain perdu," which means "lost bread." 

It was a dish people made as a way to use stale bread so nothing went to waste.

During KARE11 Saturday, Ken Benson showed how to make an authentic French toast recipe.

6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups whipping cream, chilled
