Buttermilk French Toast w/ Strawberry Compote

How about a breakfast recipe?! I say yes. This was my dad's idea and I had never made french toast with buttermilk before. The dip for the bread was runnier than normal french toast mix I have made in the past, but it had a wonderful consistency and texture when it was finished and I personally think it was easier to work with. They were go good and I made a Strawberry Compote for on top. The only thing that could have made this better would have to made a cream to make them stuffed! I froze the leftover pieces for a quick breakfast for my son in the mornings. Even reheated, this was still good.
NOTE: Vanilla extract can be used instead of almond in this recipe!
