Ultimate French toast

This recipe completely changed how I think about French toast! Once fried, it no longer feels like toast at all; it’s more like bread pudding or canelé. It’s incredibly soft and tender, practically melting in your mouth with barely any chewing, and full of egg and butter flavour.

Ingredients

  • 6 片 厚片吐司(3cm厚度),對半切開 / Slice loaf bread, 3cm thickness, cut in half
  • 2 顆 全蛋 / whole egg
  • 300 ml 牛奶 / whole fat milk
  • 100 ml 鮮奶油 / whipping cream
  • 40 g 砂糖 / sugar
  • 1/2 小匙 香草精 / vanilla extract
  • 1/2 小匙 肉桂粉 / cinnamon powder
  • 20 g 奶油 / butter ((每次加10g))
  • 適量 楓糖漿 / maple syrup

Instructions

  1. 1

    最好能用整條吐司來切,去頭尾兩邊吐司皮,切成3cm厚度的厚片,再對半切開。

  2. 2

    挑選裝得下吐司片的保鮮盒,加入法式吐司的醬汁:全蛋、砂糖、香草精、肉桂粉、鮮奶油、牛奶攪拌均勻。*原始配方可以足夠使用對半厚片土司 x 6片。

  3. 3

    將吐司片整個浸入醬汁中吸滿醬汁,以3cm吐司厚片來說,至少浸泡30分鐘,不超過一小時。蓋子蓋好,晃一晃容器讓醬汁平均被吐司吸收。中途記得把吐司稍微換個面。*如果是使用切好的薄片吐司(一般吐司厚度),浸泡時間每一面大概在20~30秒,換面。整體不要超過一分鐘。

  4. 4

    鍋子以中小火預熱2~3分鐘加入10g奶油,等奶油整體融化後,轉小火,從醬汁內用夾起吐司片入鍋,不要動它讓“外皮”形成,維持小火每一面煎3分鐘,總共有六面,側面面積比較窄可以縮短到1分半,煎到吐司每一面都呈現金黃色。

  5. 5

    出爐後,可以把吐司皮的那面朝下立著,讓吐司站起來(而非平躺)可以維持吐司厚厚方方的形狀(如下圖)。準備吃之前,撒上一點糖粉、淋上楓糖漿,趁熱食用最好吃!
