Recipes - French Toast

Okay, as indicated in our previous post we had hoped to include a separate section on the blog for vegetarian/vegan recipes we have particularly enjoyed....however, nothing is ever that straight forward and we are struggling to find a page element to add to our blog which will allow us to do this! So, for now we will add the recipes under separate post headings and hope that it works until we can find out how to add a separate Recipe section - don't hold your breath!

Below is our fave French Toast recipe from Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone".

FRENCH TOAST

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange flower water (optional)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
4 slices bread
butter or oil for pan

METHOD

Whisk the eggs with the sugar and flavourings, then stir in the milk. Pour the batter into a pie plate and put in two pieces of bread. Let stand for 3 minutes, then turn it over and let stand again to absorb the batter. Really stale bread will take longer. Press on it with your fingers - you can tell if it's still dry. Melt a little butter in a large nonstick pan. When it's bubbling, pick up the bread and put it in the pan. Cook both sides until nicely browned. Repeat with the remaining bread and batter.

We enjoy the toast plain or, served with maple syrup and jam, yummy!
