An alternative recipe for French Toast is one my mom used to use for special brunches. It is deep fried and uses butter, so again, not Kosher with meat.
Puffy French Toast
12 slices of (day old) Challah
1/4c Soft Butter
3/4c Brown Sugar
1+3/4c Flour
1+1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs, separated
1c +2 tbl Milk
3 tbl Melted Butter
Spread bread with soft butter. Sprinkle 6 slices with brown sugar, using about 2 tbl on each slice. Make 6 sandwiches with the sugared and non-sugared slices. Cut each into half on the diagonal.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add egg yolks, milk and melted butter. Mix well. Beat egg whites until stiff, then fold into batter mixture. Batter will be thick. Dip each sandwich piece the batter, coating well. Deep fry in a skillet until deep brown in color. Turn and brown on second side. Drain on paper towel.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with jelly, honey or syrup.
