French Toast

I have done a post earlier on the Bombay Toast aka the French Toast. But I came across this recipe at One Perfect Bite - a lovely blog with pictures that are absolutely drool-worthy.  There is also a nice blend of recipes for all.

This is a version of French Toast that she claimed resulted in a firm and non soggy toast. And I found it true.  It is like dipping bread in pancake batter and toasting it.  And what's more, the leftover batter - there almost always is some - that can be made into a pancake!

Ingredients:
Egg - 1
Unsalted butter - 1 tbsp - melted

Milk - 3/4 cup

Vanilla - 1/4 tsp

Sugar - 2-3 tbsp - according to sweetness desired

Refined Flour - Maida - 1/3 cup

Salt - pinch

Bread - 4 slices

Lightly beat the egg in a shallow plate

Add the melted butter 

And the milk and vanilla. Whisk

And then flour, sugar and salt and whisk again till blended.

Meanwhile heat a pan - on slow-medium heat

Dip a slice of bread into the batter for a few seconds on both sides till coated

Drip off excess batter

And place on medium hot pan 

Add a little butter ( you could also use any good refined oil if you wish)

Allow to brown slowly, the flour also needs to get cooked, and then turn over till both sides are done.

Dust with powdered sugar.

  

Or have it without that if you want to do away with extra sweetness
