kitchy weekends: doughnut french toast

Doughnut French Toast

recipe by Nigella Lawson

Ingredients:

2 eggs
½ cup full-fat milk
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 slices of bread cut in halves
1 oz butter, plus a drop of vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup sugar

Strawberry Jam:
4 to 5 strawberries (15g)

4 tablespoons icing sugar

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Method:
Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide shallow bowl.
Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.

Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan/skillet, fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.

Put the sugar onto a plate and then dredge the cooked bread until coated like a sugared doughnut.

Strawberry Jam:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender.
Process until the jam is smooth.
Pour over the french toast.
