Bonjour mis amis!
Je m'apelle Hilah.
That is all the French that I know, but today, we will be making French toast because it
has been requested by several people.
You know who you are, and I am going to show you how I make French toast today, so bon
appetit!
Okay, here's about French toast.
It's a really good way to use up stale bread, and so what I am, this is actually very fresh
bread that I bought this morning, but I am going to go ahead and cut it and set it aside
and let it dry out just a little bit before we cook it while I mix up my eggs and stuff.
So it's basically like you make like sort of a custard mix with eggs and milk and a
little sugar and you dip your sort of dried out bread in that, and the trick is to put
like equal parts milk and eggs.
You want it like real light and fluffy.
You don't want it like egg on toast, it's not like that, it's different.
Okey-dokey smokies.
I am going to do a couple of eggs, and I will see how far it gets me.
So an egg is approximately, get out of there, an egg is about a quarter cup of liquid, so
I am going to put in like a half a cup of milk.
First I am gonna whisk these up, or scramble them, whatever.
I want to get it very well mixed.
I don't want any chunks of yellow or white.
I don't want any segregation in my eggs.
Okey doke.
I am gonna eyeball it because that's how I roll.
Okay, now I am gonna put in a little bit of vanilla like maybe half a teaspoon, or whatever
that was.
I am gonna use my little microplane and put in about a teaspoon of orange zest.
Obviously I have to wash this orange before I zesting it, and it might even be this whole
orange.
Let's see what we have.
There, okay, now I will use this very clean spoon to put in a couple of teaspoons of sugar
which you can leave that out if you like.
Okay, here we have our eggy batter, yayyyyyy!
Now, I am gonna dip my bread in it.
Oooh, I am gonna turn on my skillet and heat that up.
I am using a griddle today, not my cast iron skillet.
I hope it doesn't throw me off kilter.
Okay, bread, so I am gonna cook this in butter.
That's the way we do it.
So I have my thing heating up.
I am gonna put a tablespoon of butter down and get that swirly around and cover my dealy
bopper, and probably could cook two at a time on this griddle.
That looks delightful.
Turn it down a little bit to our medium heat and then got my bread.
I wish it was a little more stale, but what you gonna do, life's not perfect.
You know what I am sayin'?
Okay, so just sort of dip each side in it, shake off any excess, and put it on yo' griddle,
and it makes that sizzle sound.
Okay, I bet your done.
I am gonna flip you.
Whoa!
It's sliding around.
Oh, my God!
It totally smells like donuts in here, badass!
Donuts are a good smell when you're making French toast because it means you have a perfect
blend of sugar and spices.
This is what it looks like when it's totally done.
Beautiful!
I am gonna eat it.
Tres parfait mis amis.
Okay, I am gonna eat.
Wait, I am gonna turn this one off so it doesn't burn.
I am gonna take this one off too because look how purty.
That's just beautiful.
Now, you could put powdered sugar or maple syrup or whatever, but I am gonna just taste
the purity of the French toast itself.
Wow!
Look at that.
That is nice.
Mmmmm.
Mmmmmmm.
The orange zest is so nice.
Mmmmm.
There you go.
That's how you make French toast.
I am gonna eat some more because I haven't had breakfast yet.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Okay, check out the website.
I shouldn't have done that before I talked.
Hold on.
Check out the website for the recipe and leave some comments if you wish and I guess that's
it.
