Makes: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • • Bread slices, 4-5 (preferably 2-3 days old)*
  • • Full Fat Milk/Whole Milk, ⅓ cup or 80 ml
  • • Single cream, 2 tablespoons (Amul brand works fine)
  • • Egg, 1 (at room temp.)
  • • Cinnamon Powder, 1 teaspoon
  • • Caster Sugar, 2 tablespoons
  • • Butter, for frying
  • *Read why you need to use stale/2-3 days old bread above. To make it healthier, use multigrain or wholewheat bread. For mini versions use french baguettes.
Method
  1. In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients, except bread and butter, for about 2 minutes. Keep this custard aside to be used later.
  2. Heat a pan and melt half tablespoon of butter on it on medium heat. Once the butter has melted, take a bread slice and soak it in the custard for 5 seconds. Flip the side and soak the other side too for 5 seconds. (The soaking time depends on the thickness and freshness of the slice, mine were relatively thin but if you're using thicker bread soak it longer until the liquid seeps in. Also, my bread was 2 days old therefore was slightly dry but if you're using fresh bread give it a really quick soak , say about a second on each side or your bread will break on lifting.)
  3. Quickly transfer the soaked bread to the heated pan and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat until each side is nice and golden.
  4. Dust some icing sugar on top and serve warm with fresh berries and honey or maple syrup for breakfast.
