Puffed French Toast

Source  Our Best Bites
Recipe Added:  12/30/2011
2 eggs
2 ½ Tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla
2 cup milk
1 cup flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
12 slices Texas style toast, cut in half diagonally
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil (not olive oil) over medium heat. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, milk, flour, and baking powder. Test oil heat by flicking some water into the frying pan. If it pops, reduce the heat. If not, turn up the heat. If it sizzles, it's just right.

Working quickly, take each 1/2 slice of bread and soak it both sides in the milk/egg/flour mixture. Gently shake to remove excess batter and place in hot oil. Cook until puffed, golden brown, and a nice, crispy crust has formed on each side (probably 3-5 minutes per side) and then remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. While cooking remaining French toast, keep cooked pieces warm in an oven set to the lowest temperature.

When ready to serve, roll each piece in cinnamon sugar. Drizzle maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, strawberry syrup or honey butter on. Slice the bread into strips for great french toast dippers.
