Some of you who live in other parts of the country might know pain perdu as "French toast."
It's real easy and tasty. Try it for breakfast (some of you northerners might be inclined to douse it with maple syrup) or as a quick little snack.
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup milk
- 4 to 8 slices of day-old bread (not fresh)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar, or to taste
Mix egg, vanilla and milk together thoroughly in a bowl. Quickly pass a slice of bread through mixture. Drop on hot grill (or skillet) for 1 minute then turn other side for 1 minute. Remove from grill. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.
