Perfect French Toast
Ingredients
- Clarified Butter(Ghee) melted — 2 Tbsp
- Eggs (large) — 2
- Granulated Sugar — 2 tsp
- Salt — 1/4 tsp
- Ground Cloves — pinch
- Ground Mace — pinch
- Ground Nutmeg — pinch
- Ground Cinnamon — pinch
- Heavy Cream — 1 tsp (optional)
- Finely grated zest of 1/2 tangerine/orange (optional)
- All Purpose Flour — 2 tsp
- Good quality White Bread — 2 (I used honey wheat bread)
- Confectioners sugar — for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Melt 1 Tbsp of clarified butter and keep aside. In a medium bowl beat eggs, sugar, salt, spices, heavy cream, zest for about 5-7 minutes. In a separate bowl mix little of the egg mixture and all purpose flour and make a paste. Add the paste back to the remaining egg mixture and beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- Heat remaining clarified butter to a frying pan with flame in medium-high heat. While the clarified butter is heating, soak the butter in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds until soft but not soggy.(Note: If you are using fresh bread do not soak the bread too long, if you are using stale bread then soak till the egg mixture is absorbed well into the bread).
- Place the bread carefully on the pan, cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until golden and crisp on the cooking side. Flip sides and cook till crisp and golden on this side too. Place on serving platter sprinkle sugar, assorted fruits and serve hot. Enjoy!
