Best Recipe - French Toast
1 L egg
2T unsalted butter, melted
3/4C milk
2t vanilla extract
2T sugar
1/3C unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4t salt
4-5 slices day-old challah
one additional suggestion provided by my (brilliant, gourmande) mother in response to the lumpiness of the batter: create a paste out of the milk and flour to reduce clumping. Two more notes from experience with variations
- make the batter thicker for french bread
- use challah; toast the bread lightly before preparing the recipe to give a great texture contrast - slightly crunchy 'crust'
