French Toast



Ingredients:
Bread sliced 4
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk
pinch of salt
Dash of Vanilla
Real honey/ Maple Syrup/ Sugar
Oil 1tbsp for each slice of bread

Method:

Crack an egg inside a bowl and add milk and a dash of vanilla. Adjust the amount of milk and vanilla added for your own taste.
Beat your eggs with a whisk or fork until your mix is nicely mixed.
Heat your pan and add a good amount of oil. Around ¼ inch is a good lining. Oil is better than using butter on your pan. Set the heat to Medium high.
Dip your sliced bread inside the bowl that contains the battered eggs. Make sure both sides are covered and let it drip for a sec.
Place the moist bread inside your pan and fry until perfection. You want your French toast a little golden/brown, but not burnt. Flip it so you cooked both sides.
Place your French toast on a plate, ready to be served. You can add whatever toppings you like: honey, syr and maybe powdered sugar. Enjoy!!!
