- Makes : 4
- Prep time : 5 mins
- Cooking time : 6 mins
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- ¼ cup castor sugar
- 1 pinch of allspice
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 50g butter
- 4 to 6 slices of bread
- TO SERVE:
- ½ cup of thickened cream
- fresh berries
- maple syrup
Method
- Combine the sugar, eggs, spices and milk in a bowl and beat together to combine.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Gently dip each side of the bread in the egg mixture. Let the excess drip off before placing in the frying pan.
- Cook each side for around three minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the pan, place on a paper towel lined plate before serving.
- To serve, stack as you would pancakes. Slice the toast and top with berries, a dollop of cream, a drizzle of maple syrup and if feeling particularly Masterchef-like, hit it with a dusting of icing sugar. Ooh là là!
Notes
- Have your toppings ready to go – berries washed and sliced, cream whipped, maple syrup at the ready. No time should be wasted between coming off the pan and devouring!
- Whisk the cream for a few minutes to become thick and fluffy. Set aside.
