Firstly, let us make the batter. Preheat any non-stick skillet or griddle which you are going to use for making the batter. This should be done on a medium temperature setting with an ideal and functional gas stove
The next step is to combine 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of corn-starch or custard powder, as per your taste or convenience, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, one-fourth teaspoon of the ground cinnamon, and a pinch or maybe one-sixteenth teaspoon of the salt in a shallow bowl.
Now mix the all togetherness until they are well combined and mixed uniformly.
Coat both sides of bread properly by dipping it into the batter made out of milk and corn-starch. One caution to be taken is if you are using thin slices of the bread, do not soak too much or for too long otherwise, it will turn out to be very soggy
On the contrary, if you use thick slices of the bread, make sure that the bread is soaked properly and enough to absorb the milk-corn-starch mixture or batter we have prepared in Step 1
Now take a skillet, and heat it over a medium flame on the gas stove. Take the butter in it and melt it on the skillet.
Now, cook the coated bread slice until it turns out to be golden brown in color on one side, then flip the bread and cook the other side.
In case the pan you use is smaller in size, cook in small batches, or cook in larger batches if the pan you use is larger. Now, cook the rest of the toasts by repeating the same steps.
One important thing to be remembered is to whisk the batter each time before using or coating the bread owing to the reason that the corn starch tends to settle at the bottom. So, whisking it intermittently will allow the proper coating of the batter.
Finally, when cooked, serve them immediately, drizzled with a sweetener like a maple syrup or honey and toppings of your choice and your convenience.
