What is French toast called around the world?
The French toast is known by many names across the world such as, Spanish toast, German toast, nun’s toast, eggy bread, torriga, poor knights of Windsor, Bombay toast and many others. In France itself, the dish is known as “pain perdu” or “lost bread”. An interesting trail of events led to the dish earning this name.
What can I use if I don’t have vanilla for French toast?
1. Maple Syrup. Seems like maple syrup isn’t only meant for pancakes, waffles, and French toast! If your recipe calls for some vanilla extract that you don’t have, substitute an equal amount of maple syrup in it and you won’t be able to tell the difference.
How do you make French toast without egg taste?
You’re adding too much milk or too few egg yolks. A basic rule of thumb is about a quarter cup of milk and one egg per two-slice serving—and if you really want to avoid that “scrambled” taste, use only the yolks of some or all of the eggs. (It’s sulfur compounds in the whites that give eggs their unique “egg” taste.)
Is French toast supposed to taste eggy?
The ideal French toast is browned and crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. It is not dry and it is not soggy. It has a rich, custard flavor (without being too eggy), and is usually sweetened with sugar and garnished with maple or fruit syrup, fresh fruit, and butter — but it can be served savory as well.
Can you taste the egg in French toast?
You may also want to look up ‘pain perdu’ which is like the ultimate sweet custard french toast (especially if you use brioche). But, yeah, french toast is to some extent going to taste like egg and bread, since that’s what it is.
How do you get the egg smell out of French toast?
Egg whites contain sulfur compounds that give eggs their distinctive smell and cause your French toast to smell eggy. Do not add granulated sugar to the mixture as it has a tendency to sink to the bottom of the container and doesn’t mix easily. On the other hand, powdered sugar will mix faster and evenly.
