French toast is a delicious snack and can be served for breakfast. Simple and easy to prepare this can be made in a jiffy and is healthy too! Thinking of french toast takes me back to my childhood days when my mom used to prepare this as an evening snack and I entering the house tired after school smelling the aroma of freshly made toasts. Slices of bread are dipped in an egg-milk mixture with additional flavourings, placed on a pan greased with butter and cooked on both sides until golden brown. You may add additional toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream etc.
Ingredients:
4 whole wheat bread slices
Whole milk- 2/3-3/4 cup
Eggs - 2
Granulated sugar - 2tbsp
Vanilla extract- 1/4 tsp
Ground cinnamon- 1/8 tsp
Butter
Method
- Beat eggs well.
- Add milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and mix well.
- Heat a pan over low-medium heat.
- Grease with butter cubes.
- Dip both sides of a bread slice in batter for few seconds and place on the pan.
- Cook each slice for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown.
- Add more butter to the pan to cook the other slices.
- Serve hot with toppings of your choice. You may even dust the surface of each bread slice with powdered sugar.

I prefer french toast without cinnamon and he prefers it with loads of cinnamon... So I make 2 versions :)
My son loves French toasts-but,he's not too fond of the cinnamon,so I normally omit that :)
Thanks Vishali, Smitha and Ramya for your lovely words :)
Ramya, yes I can imagine your situation! Though we both give a thumbs up to this one there are other dishes where I need to change the original version to suit his taste!!

POresentations s just superb.......me n my hus loves this dis toast alot...whenever im runnin out of time, this s d breakfast i make..n he loves it...snap s just superb dear..
hi Pooja,
totally agree with you on the french toast..no breakfast as easy n simple as this..and the biriyaniiii...ummmm...me too had my lessons from a malabari muslim lady, but a small doubt on the addition of coconut milk while cooking the rice..is it always this same ratio...half coconut milk, half water ??
Thanks Vidya. Yes it has been in my drafts for a long time. Would post soon :)
Thanks Ammu :)
Thanks Lena :)
Thanks Sona..you may add enough coconut milk to cook rice instead of half milk n half water. It would add more taste too :)
I just love french toast but never get it rite:(...yours looks so gud
Thanks Priti. While making toast always keep the heat some where near medium. The pan should not be too hot otherwise your toasts may get burnt quickly. What was the prob before? What it with the batter or final prep?
