Directions:
- 1If your bread is fresh, give it a quick turn in the toaster to prevent it from falling apart when you dip it in the milk mixture.
- 2Meanwhile, whisk together the soy milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cornflour, flour and salt, then pour into a wide, shallow bowl for ease of dipping.
- 3Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- 4Dunk both sides of a few slices of bread in the milk mixture, then transfer to the hot pan. Cook for a few minutes, until the underside is nicely browned, then carefully flip the slices over and brown the other side.
- 5Remove from the pan and cook the remaining slices in the same way.
- 6Serve immediately, with maple syrup, fresh berries or sliced banana on the side, and a dusting of icing sugar.
Variation: Try coconut milk for a tropical flavour, and top with cubed mango and a sprinkling of coconut flakes. Or use chickpea flour (besan) instead of plain flour for a more savoury flavour that goes swimmingly with smoky tempeh strips and maple syrup.
Tip: For a special treat, saute? banana slices in 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar. When starting to caramelise, add a tablespoon of rum and cook for a few seconds. Serve with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon.
