How To Make French Toast
By Polly Hamilton
French toast is a wonderful breakfast treat, and it is really easy to learn how to make it! All you need is a non-stick frying pan, stove top, and the following ingredients:
2 eggs
½ cup of milk
½ teaspoon of vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
6 slices of bread (just before they are due to go stale is best)
1 tablespoon (or more) of butter
topping of your choice (see below for ideas)
Below is the 6 simple steps for how to make French toast:
1 Put the oven on to warm (for French toast made at the beginning)
2 beat your eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla together in a bowel which is big enough to fit a piece of bread flat on the bottom (baking pans often work well). You can add salt, or anything else to taste, depending on what toppings you plan on using.
3 dip a piece of bread in the mixture, coating both sides (repeat this step once you have cooked each piece). Keep repeating this process until you have used all the batter.
4 heat the non-stick frying pan and melt the butter in it over a medium heat. Fry one piece of bread at a time until golden brown on both sides (the less you turn the better). Add more butter if you need it before frying each new piece.
5 Remember to use the oven to keep already cooked pieces warm!
6 Serve the toast with your choice of topping or see below for suggestions.
So there you have it! The easy instructions on how to make French toast!
How to make French toast with toppings:
How to make French toast with apple:
A yummy alternative is any type of cooked apple on top of your French toast. You could spread applesauce or place steamed apple pieces on your French toast.
How to make French toast with peanut butter:
An unusual tip is to spread peanut butter on your French toast! Remember you can easily make French toast a savory dish or dessert dish. It is all to do with how you choose your toppings.
How to make French toast with sugar and cinnamon:
A nice simple topping is to sprinkle sugar lightly over your toast, then dust cinnamon over the top. The sugar compliments everything, and the extra cinnamon adds a bit of a kick to the flavor!
How to make French toast with thick bread:
If you are going for the authentic diner look, use extra thick slices of bread. It fills you up more, looks more aesthetically pleasing, and soaks up more dip which makes for a nicer texture!
How to make French toast with maple syrup:
Probably the most favorite French toast topping: maple syrup. Make sure you don't spread too much on or it may taste a bit sickly.
How to make French toast with seasonal berries:
Strawberries work especially well (sliced) but most other seasonal berries are also make for very complimentary toppings: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries.
How to make French toast with sugar:
Any type of sugar compliments French toast: brown sugar, icing sugar, white sugar. Just sprinkle a little on to taste.
And the best suggestion of all: How to make French toast with bacon and banana!
Make your French toast, as usual. Fry a few strips of bacon per piece of French toast, and one banana per person. To fry a banana, cut in half and place pulp down in the pan or medium-low heat. Leave for a couple of minutes to heat through and slightly brown the bottom. Peel and slice (or not) as desired. Not only does this taste delicious, but you can easily present these foods very nicely.
