Instructions
MAKE THE BATTER
- Mix the cornstarch in a shallow bowl or pyrex container, add in the dairy-free milk and whisk together. Mix thoroughly so there are no clumps.
- Add in the rest of the batter ingredients and whisk together to combine.
COAT
- Slice thick slices of sourdough bread and them them soak in the batter for 20-30 seconds. It should be so soggy that the bread falls apart, but should be thoroughly coated. If the batter is not getting absorbed well, press down on the bread with a fork in the batter to help the bread soak up the batter like a sponge.
COOK
- Add butter (vegan) or margarine to a hot skillet. Cook for 2-5 minutes or more, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-5 minutes or more until both sides are golden brown.
SERVE
- Serve with so many great options, nut butters and fresh fruit go so well with french toast!
