Byzitouni

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 4-6 thick slices of Bread (Sourdough or Brioche works best!) 🍞
  • 1 cup Milk (Dairy or plant-based like Oat or Almond!) 🥛
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (The secret to that “custard” texture!) 🥄
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling!) 🍯
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
  • ½ tsp Ground cinnamon 🤎
  • Butter for the pan 🧈

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. The Batter Base: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. 🥣🌪️💎
  2. Heat the Pan: Melt a knob of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s sizzling. 🧈🍳🔥
  3. The Soak: Quickly dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated but not completely soggy. 🍞🌊✨
  4. Fry to Gold: Place the bread in the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until they reach that beautiful, deep golden-brown color seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🙌
  5. The Sizzle: If the pan gets dry, add a little more butter to ensure the edges get perfectly crisp. 🧈🛡️💎
  6. The Final Pour: Stack your warm French toast and generously drizzle with maple syrup as shown in the picture! 🍯🎨🤤
  7. Serve: Top with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar and enjoy your masterpiece! 🍽️🍓🧤✨

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Extra Crisp” Secret: For that professional caramelized crust shown in the photo, sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar directly onto the bread while it’s frying in the pan! 🍬🛡️💎
  • The “Thick Slice” Hack: Use slightly stale bread—it absorbs the liquid better without falling apart, giving you a much fluffier result! 🍞🎯✨
