Doughnut French Toast Recipe




What can I say about this recipe? Nigella's Doughnut French Toast is a very naughty, very scrumptious little treat.  It's the this type of gloriously comforting and lavishly sweet snack, that Nigella is known for and  it really tastes like a warm sugary doughnut.

This recipe is really simple and great served with a big mug of hot chocolate, or you could warm a little strawberry jam and drizzle over your tower of  french toast.


Doughnut French Toast - Nigella Express

2 eggs

4 teaspoons vanilla extract
60ml full-fat milk
4 slices from a small white loaf or
 2 slices from a large white loaf, each large slice cut in half
25g butter, plus a drop of flavourless oil for frying
50g caster sugar

1.Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide, shallow bowl.


2.Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.

3.Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan, and fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.

4.Put the sugar on a plate and then dip the cooked bread in it until coated like a sugared doughnut.
 

Mmm Strawberry Jam.

Wow, that looks delicious! Would you recommend Nigella Express? I keep meaning to buy it but don't for some reason.

To be honest it is not my favourite of all her books, it's not bad just not fantastic.

I'd say Nigella's Kitchen is better but Express does have this great recipe and I think the high speed hamburger is one of the best ever. Other good recipe in Express are the Chocolate peanut butter fudge sundae and the buttermilk roast chicken but you could probably find them online. x

I have the book too but have never made this. Yours looks great. I need to sit down and focus and start making all the lovely recipes I haven't yet tried from all my books.
