I've been wanting to eat this for weeks. Now that it's spring break, I have time to cook!
Ingredients:
1/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
pinch salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla or banana extract
5 slices of white bread (or 3 slices of texas toast)
Butter (to grease the pan)
Toppings:
1/2 banana
strawberry syrup* or fresh strawberries and maple syrup
confectioner's sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Put the flour in a shallow bowl (big enough for a piece of bread to lie flat in)
2. Stir in the milk (whisk or fork) gradually, until the lumps are gone
3. Stir in the egg, salt, cinnamon, sugar, and extract, until the mixture is frothy
4. Heat a frying pan to medium heat, and grease with a little butter
5. Dip each side of a bread slice in the batter, and cook in the heated pan until golden brown and delicious (stole that from you, Alton Brown)
6. Repeat 4 and 5 until there's no more batter (or bread)
7. Arrange on a plate, and top with sliced bananas, syrup, and a dust of confectioner's sugar
As always, experiment! I bet this would be awesome with some lemon curd, honey butter, and confectioner's sugar, or bananas and nutella, etc...
* They have this at Safeway and other grocery stores, but you can also just cook some strawberries over medium-low heat
