Brown Sugar Crusted French Toast
2 pieces of bread
2 Tbsp butter
the mix:
- an egg
- some milk
- some vanilla ("some" for the vanilla ≠ "some" for the milk)
- a spoon of sugar
- a dash of cinnamon
3-4 Tbsp brown sugar, spread around on a plate
...I never measure things when I make French toast. Guessing wildly, it's probably about 1/4 cup of milk, 1/3 tsp vanilla, and 2 tsp white sugar.
Mix together the ingredients for the mix in a wide, shallow bowl. Heat a skillet on medium and drop in 1 Tbsp of butter to melt. Dip the bread in the mix then turn it over and dip the other side. Here's the cool part: take the now-soggy bread and put it on the brown sugar, so one side gets coated. Then put it in the pan, brown sugar side down. Leave it a few minutes until that side is cooked golden brown then flip it over and cook the other side. Take out the first piece of toast then put the rest of the butter in the pan and repeat with the second slice of bread. Serve with a little maple syrup.
The brown sugar gets caramelized and gives the toast a thin, crunchy candy coating. If you want to be extra fancy, coat both sides with sugar but I liked it fine with just one.
