Milk French Toast

 

Ingredients:

4 thick slices day-old bread

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 1/2 tablespoon caster sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Butter or oil (for cooking)

Maple syrup and fresh fruits (for serving)

Methods:

1. Crack the eggs into a large bowl.  Beat them lightly with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are well combined.
2. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to the eggs.  Whisk everything together until the mixture is well mixed.
3. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.  Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan and let it melt, ensuring the surface of the pan is evenly coated.
4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensure fully submerged.
5. Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated pan.  Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.  Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.  The French toast should be golden brown and cooked through.  Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate.  Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
6. Top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
