Ingredients
- 8 slices bread (ideally stale white bread)
- 2 tbsp sugar (cassonade (Belgian brown sugar))
- 25 cl milk
- 3 eggs
- icing sugar (or your favourite sugar)
- 1 cube butter
Steps
- Beat the eggs, milk and brown sugar together in a cup.

- Heat a frying pan with a knob of butter over a moderate heat.
- Pour the mixture into a deep plate large enough to dip 1 slice of bread.

- Dip a slice of bread into the mixture, submerging it well.

- Put the soaked bread in the pan. Watch it closely: it can burn quickly. Depending on the heat, you may need to turn it in less than half a minute.

- Fry until lightly golden on both sides and transfer to a plate.
- Finish with icing sugar or your favourite sugar.
