Best french toast

This french toast is soft and velvety and almost like big thick pancakes.  It uses crumpets, cos I was addicted to them for about a month during winter.

4 crumpets (your general store bought kind)

1 egg

milk

cinnamon

vanilla

1 T sugar

pinch salt

Mix together the egg, and all the other ingredients except the crumpets is a shallow wide bowl.

Start soaking your crumpets. the longer the better, both sides. 

Get you pan nice and hot and drop the crumpets in, bubbley side down, cook both sides till golden.

Drop on a plate, and serve with bananas panfried in butter and golden syrup.  Goes with all your usual french toast bits and pieces too.

Breakfast

One of my favourite meals of the day - especially weekend brunch.  I've had this 'woddles' waffle maker for ages, the waffles come out like little penguins, and hadn't made any yet.

So the other evening I remembered all about it - and that I had some left over cream in the fridge plus some strawberries that would go deliciously.  So I went off to happy dream land with waffles on my mind.

Next morning a delicious breakfast story unfolded in the shape of Oatmeal Waffles

Oatmeal Waffles

1c flour

3t baking powder

4T melted butter

1c rolled oats

1t salt

1c milk

1 egg beaten

1 T sugar

1/2 c raisins -optional I didn't use these, but would have been a rad inclusion

Sift flour, sugar, bp into a bowl.  Add rolled oats, and raisins if using.  Add the egg, melted butter and egg. Mix together lightly - don't over mix.  

Drop into your waffle iron.  Top with whatever you like - my boy likes golden syrup.

Simply magnificent - will make again.
