Well, let me tell ya somethin’, makin’ French toast without eggs ain’t all that hard! Now, you might think, “How’s that even possible?” But lemme show ya a way. It’s all ‘bout gettin’ the right stuff mixed up good and fried right. Just gotta keep it simple, like how we do things back in the day.
First off, what ya gonna need?
- Bread slices, now don’t go for that fancy bread. Regular ol’ bread does just fine.
- Some cornstarch – this here’s like a miracle in powder form. You don’t got eggs, but you got cornstarch, ya get me?
- A bit of chickpea water (they call it “aquafaba” or somethin’) – this stuff’s like magic! It’s what holds it all together, like how eggs would.
- Milk – ya can use regular ol’ cow’s milk, or some folks like almond milk or soy milk if they don’t mess with dairy.
- Some melted margarine or butter – that’s for makin’ it nice and golden.
- A dash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon – for flavor, ya know.
Alright, now here’s what ya do:
First off, in a blender, pour about a half cup of milk – any kind you like. Then add about a tablespoon of that cornstarch, a few tablespoons of chickpea water (like from a can of them chickpeas), and a bit of melted margarine. You gotta blend that real smooth. Don’t skimp on blendin’, or it ain’t gonna turn out right.
Now, when ya got that all smooth-like, pour it in a dish where ya can dip the bread. If it’s too runny, add a smidge more cornstarch or margarine, and if it’s too thick, a splash more milk’ll do it. Now, here’s a tip – get the pan heated up good before ya start dippin’. You want it hot but not smokin’. Else, ya end up with bread that just soaks and falls apart.
Time to Fry ‘Em Up:
Now, ya take that bread and dip it quick-like, both sides. Don’t go lettin’ it sit there, or it’ll turn all mushy. Then, straight into the pan with a bit of margarine or butter. It should sizzle a bit – that’s when ya know ya did it right! Cook ‘em until both sides get a nice golden brown. If the pan starts coolin’, wait a sec to heat it up again.
And there ya go! French toast without eggs. I tell ya, it’s real good, even the kids won’t tell there ain’t no eggs in there. Ya can even dust a bit of powdered sugar on top if you’re feelin’ fancy, or maybe a dollop of syrup. Ain’t gotta be perfect, just tasty. Serve it up with some fruit if you like, or just eat it plain. Easy as pie!
So there ya have it, folks, a way to make French toast without them eggs. Ain’t no need for fancy ingredients or fancy talkin’. Just use what ya got, and make it good!
