Whisk the Goodness of Cinnamon Raisin French Toast

An easy-breezy breakfast treat

I have this habit of meal planning. At times I even think of what to cook for tomorrow’s dinner, though I am behind 24 hours. I will open my fridge or kitchen cupboard, staring at the items aimlessly to put a menu together, be it any meals.

There are days where I am completely blank and in search of what to cook for my family. I would struggle to find something I like, and I may get lost in the pool of my thoughts on what to cook; that’s really stressful because time is ticking, and yet I don’t have anything on my mind.

That is where french toast always does the trick. When I have trouble finding something, then I will go for a simple toast recipe. Usually, I make simple french toast using plain bread.

Recently I tried this Cinnamon Raisin french toast for a different taste. Together, everybody hits the like button; hence I am sharing it.

Ingredients for 6 toast

Preparation Time: 6 minutes & Cooking Time: 15 Minutes

6 piece Raisin bread

1/4 cup thickened cream

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 egg

1 Tablespoon cinnamon powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Optional

Full cream milk or fresh milk to adjust the consistency

Maple syrup

Condensed milk

Spreadable butter

Preparation

1. Heat a stainless steel pan, skillet, or griddle pan on low-medium flame.
2. Meanwhile, whisk all the ingredients together well in a bowl for 3–4 minutes. The batter should blend well in medium consistency.
3. Spread 1/4 teaspoon butter in the pan.
4. Dip one bread at a time and dip it right before to place it in the pan.
5. Dip both sides of the bread for about 5–6 seconds. Let the bread immerse in the batter, but not too much. It’s to prevent sogginess.
6. Place the dipped bread on the heated pan for about 1–2 minutes. Flip the bread and cook the other side for about the same time.
7. Transfer them immediately, not to dry up.

Now the kitchen smells like buttery cinnamon, signals you, sets your table, and ready to serve and eat.

Notes

• Enjoy the Cinnamon Raisin French toast with a cup of coffee, let the sun shine upon you.
• Always enjoy toast when it is warm.
• Serve the toast with butter and Maple syrup or with butter and Condensed milk. I second the latter.
