French toast is one of the most common snacks in tea restaurants in Hong Kong. It is said that the dessert was introduced by the French.
The method of French toast is very simple and quick:
First, remove the four sides of the toasted bread, spread peanut butter on one side of the two slices of bread respectively, and put the sandwich cheese slices in the middle (you can also add slices of meat according to personal preference).
Second, beat the eggs, and then let the bread be completely dipped in the egg liquid.
Third, put the oil in the pan, when the oil is 50% hot, fry the bread wrapped in the egg liquid on low heat until it is golden brown and take it out of the pan.
Last, after serving, add cream or butter, and then add an appropriate amount of syrup or condensed milk according to personal taste.
It is such a simple ingredient, but it can be put together to create a delicious taste that is sweet but not greasy, crispy, and soft. Among the top 50 delicacies in the world selected by CNNGo, a travel website owned by CNN, French toast is on the list.
The french toast made in the early tea restaurants was very simple. The square bun was sliced, dipped in egg liquid, and then fried with butter until fragrant.
It can be seen at a glance that the surface of the former will have some patterns of fried eggs after it comes out of the pan.
In the 1950s, in addition to frying French toast, it was also popular to apply French toast with kaya. Kaya is a Southeast Asian sweet sauce, which is boiled with fresh coconut milk, eggs, and sugar. It tastes sweet and has a coconut aroma.
In the past, the syrup was expensive, and tea restaurants used kaya to produce sweetness in order to reduce costs.
Later, when the sugar industry developed, tea restaurants found it troublesome to make their own kaya, and syrup became the mainstream again.
Most of the French toast that people eat nowadays is stuffed with peanut butter. In fact, in the early days, peanut butter was added only to stick the buns and prevent the two pieces of bread from separating during frying.
The later upgrade is to improve the shape, filling, and other aspects. French toast, which is as thick as a dictionary, is not only attractive in appearance but also chewier than normal thickness french toast.
In addition, people can also make French toast at home. Here are some recipes.
