Perfect French Toast: Sweet & Fluffy
The Ultimate Weekend Brunch Treat: Delightfully Sweet and Tender French Toast
Let’s make some incredibly soft and fluffy French toast that will brighten your day, perfect for a weekend brunch with your morning coffee or as a sweet, delightful snack.
French Toast Base Ingredients- 1/2 slice of bread (from a half loaf, thicker slices are recommended)
- 200ml Milk
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 2 Eggs
- 15g Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the bread that will form the base of your moist and delicious French toast.
Step 2
Take half a slice of bread. If using a half loaf of bread, use half of that. Slice the bread in half to expose the cut surfaces. (Tip: Slightly thicker slices of bread will yield an even fluffier and more tender French toast.)
Step 3
In a bowl, combine 200ml of milk and 1 Tbsp of sugar. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, crack 2 fresh eggs.
Step 5
Whisk the eggs with the sweetened milk to create a smooth and creamy egg-milk mixture. Using a whisk will help incorporate everything nicely.
Step 6
Dip the prepared bread slices into the egg-milk mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak up the liquid completely.
Step 7
To ensure a tender texture, gently press down on the bread with a fork while it’s soaking. This helps the egg-milk mixture penetrate deep into the bread. Be gentle to avoid breaking the bread.
Step 8
For an even more moist and tender result, cover the bread with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and let it soak in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. This allows the egg-milk mixture to soak deeper into the bread.
Step 9
Melt 15g of butter in a heated pan over medium-low heat. It’s best to melt the butter slowly to prevent it from burning.
Step 10
Once the butter is melted, place the soaked bread slices into the pan. Cook over medium heat, flipping to ensure both sides turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Step 11
Once both sides are cooked to a golden-brown perfection, carefully transfer the French toast to a plate.
Step 12
Arrange slices of 1 banana, cut into large pieces, on top of the French toast. If bananas aren’t available, other fruits can be used as a delicious alternative.
Step 13
Drizzle generously with maple syrup for a sweet and rich flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount to your liking.
Step 14
Sprinkle a good amount of cinnamon powder over the top. This adds a wonderful warmth and enhances the overall flavor profile of your French toast.
Step 15
Finally, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream to complete this visually appealing and delicious French toast! (Whipped cream is optional, but it adds a luxurious and richer taste experience.)
Step 16
This thick, soft, and sweet French toast is perfect as a brunch centerpiece or a satisfying snack whenever you crave something delightful. Enjoy it with your coffee or tea!
