Sometimes we may be stuck with stale bread in the house. One of the best ways to use up this stale bread is to make them into French toast. Basically French toast is just sliced bread soaked in milk and egg and fried. However, this does not stop us from making it even tastier by adding some butter, sugar and spices like cinnamon to it.
Usually I would add some sugar in the milk mixture in which I soak the bread for frying. However, if sugar has not added, the French toast would taste great with golden syrup and butter.
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of bread
- 1/2 cup of full cream milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp butter + a dollop
- 3 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence, optional
- A pinch of salt (if unsalted butter is used)
Method:
- Add milk, egg, butter and sugar into a bowl.
- Mix the ingredients well.
- Slice the bread according to desired shape.
- Soak the bread slices in the milk mixture.
- Heat up a pan with the dollop of butter.
- Swirl pan so that it is covered with butter.
- Place the soaked slices of bread onto the pan.
- Fry till the bottom of each slice is golden brown.
- Flip the bread to the other side.
- When the bread has turned golden brown, remove it from the pan.
- Serve.
