How to Make Perfect French Toast
“Hey everyone! Welcome back to Ask Mum n Dad. Today, we’re answering a question asked by many foodie lovers, how to make a breakfast classic that’s loved by many – French Toast! Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or friends, this recipe is sure to impress. Let’s get started
Ingredients Overview
- 4 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut or day-old bread)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Alright, now that we have everything ready, let’s move on to preparing our batter.”
Making the Batter
Next, pour in half a cup of milk. This helps make the French toast nice and creamy. Now, add one teaspoon of vanilla extract for a touch of sweetness and aroma.
And a teaspoon of ground cinnamon for that warm, cozy flavor. Finally, don’t forget a pinch of salt to balance everything out. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined. You want a smooth, slightly frothy mixture.
Dipping the Bread
“Now, take your slices of bread and dip each one into the batter. Make sure both sides are nicely coated but not soaking wet. Let any excess batter drip off and set the coated bread aside on a plate.
Cooking the French Toast
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
“Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, place your coated bread slices in the pan. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they’re golden brown and slightly crispy. Look at that beautiful color! That’s exactly what we want.
Serving the French Toast
Now it’s time to serve! You can top your French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and even some fresh fruits if you like. And there you have it – perfect, delicious French toast ready to enjoy!”
