| 1. In stand up mixer or in small bowl, combine cream cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar until fluffy. | 2. Fit a cake decorating bag with a large tip (star or round) and fill with cream cheese mixture. Set aside. | 3. Using a serrated bread knife, slice each piece of Texas Toast into half on the diagonal. | 4. Along the newly cut diagonal edge, use the tip of the knife to gently make a one inch slice into the center of the bread, making sure the slice runs parallel to the top and bottom of the bread. | 5. Insert the decorator tip into the opening & squeeze out about a teaspoon or so of filling. With a thumb & finger, gently pinch the opening to close it back up & cover the filling. (This could also be done with a ziplock baggie with a corner cut off, although not quite as easily.). | 6. In mixer or another medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt. | 7. Beat in milk and eggs until batter is smooth. Pour into deep wide bowl or into a pie plate, for dipping. | 8. Pre-heat deep fryer or griddle (about 350°) and when ready dip filled slices of bread into batter, turn once and place into fryer basket. (Mine will hold two slices at a time.) | 9. Fry 2 minutes or until lightly browned & crispy looking then turn each slice over with a pair of tongs and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until done. | 10. Remove with tongs to paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. | 11. Repeat with the rest of the slices. | 12. Serve immediately (careful - filling is hot) with your choice of syrups, jams or jellies. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
