    The Real French Toast

    Servings: 4
    Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes

    Ingredients:

  • Half of a slightly stale French baguette
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Confectioner sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Caribbean Rum (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Directions:

    Slice the « baguette » into 1 inch slices (2.5 centimeters).

    Heat a buttered and large frying pan on medium high heat.

    Mix milk, eggs, granulated sugar and Rum in a bowl and beat with a whisk for just 30 seconds.

    Dip the slices into the mixture for 5 to 10 seconds to moisten.

    Sprinkle each side of slices with confectioner sugar. They will get a nice golden brownish color while cooking.

    Cook for 10 minutes returning the bread every other minute.

    Serve immediately and enjoy when still warm.

    Bon appétit !
