You can use fresh milk, you can use evaporated milk, or pwedering kay makitimplan na powdered milk plus water. Actually, yung ginawa ko dito. So this is 3 tablespoons of full cream milk powder plus water to fill up a 1/2 cup. So to this, we will add 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar. So if you're not sure, you can just use the light brown sugar that you have at home. I'm not very particular on the recipe for white sugar because it's more expensive than light brown sugar. So just use what you have. The classic French toast Usually egg and milk lang, pero since yung natikman ko na French toast ng college ako, ay matamis. Kehani lang ganatin sha na sugar. Na sa sain yung kung gano karaming sugar, pero 3 tablespoons eto yung sakto na lasa dun sa nabili ko before, pero pedi nyo tong bawasan o tangali na talaga yung sugar. Na yon, y datang dagdan natin ang ating 1 large egg. Last but not the least, about 1/8 teaspoon of salt or salt to taste. Mix it using a fork. If it's still too dry, you can add more soup. You can add more soup to the second batch so that it will be softer. Because if you add more sluma, the bread will be more sluma, so if you add more sluma, there will be more liquid. It will be harder to spread the bread or it will be more hard. So adjust accordingly. Ayan, pede na di to natin isasausaw yung ating lumang tinapa isahan natin ipi brito. So, pae inyik ka ng flat pan over low fire or low heat. O gumagami ka ng electric stove. Lagyan natin ng konting margarine or butter. Mas masarap pero mas mad. Meron ako di tong 6 slices of bread. Lightly soak niya la. Cada slice lang, the breads. So usually, French toast po, ay ginagawa para sa mga lumang pinapaiso para bigyan sha nang palibago, freshness, and syrup. So about 1 minute for each side. So do this for the rest of your slices. So this is our French toast.
