Cinnamon dusted French Toast

French toast was not invented in France. In fact, French toast was around long before France even existed! The earliest reference dates back to 4th century Rome. The Romans would take stale bread (as highly enriched white bread was very expensive back then), soak it in a milk and egg mixture, then cook it by frying it in oil or butter.

This recipe is very simple and easy. We call it the "Bombay toast", but in gourmet lingo - the French toast.


Ingredients

•     Bread slices  (white is best) - 4
•     Egg   -  1
•     Milk   - 1 cup
•     Sugar - 1 tb sp
•     Salt   - a  pinch
•     Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
•     Butter or oil - 2 tsp
•     Cinnamon powder for garnish
 

Beat the egg,  milk, sugar and salt well until the sugar dissolves.

Heat a pan and brush its base with butter.  Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and cook the slices in medium flame until both sides are golden brown. Dust the slices with cinnamon powder and serve warm. Top it with your favorite fruit or maple syrup.

Yummy French toast ready in just 5 minutes. Taste the morning sun!
