French Toast : Odds and ends
French toast is a common breakfast item made by frying an egg batter soaked piece of bread. French toast was developed as a way to use day-old stale bread. Lacking day-old bread, toasting your bread lightly can help it absorb more of the egg and milk batter.
French toast is usually served with toppings similar to those used for pancakes, waffles, and toast. Suggested toppings are:
real maple syrup, table syrup
jam, jelly, fruit syrup
whipped cream
powdered sugar
nuts
honey (as served in China)
This recipe is easily scalable. The simplest thing is to memorize the recipe for two slices (1 serving), and then multiply to make more. You can coat 2.25 to 2.5 slices from this, or perhaps less than two if the bread slices are large.
Ingredients
1 egg for every 2 slices of bread
approximately 1/4 cup of milk (more for softer, less egg-like French toast; less for firmer, more egg-like toast)
2 slices of bread (I cut 1″ thick slices of French bread)
butter (best), margarine, or oil
