\"French <\/picture><\/p>\n

Pain perdu in French means “lost bread” or otherwise stale bread that might have been thrown away could be used in this recipe. But do you know, I’ve been waiting for my store bought bread to go stale for a while and it still seems like it’s fresh. Goodness knows what horrid things they put in those breads.<\/p>\n

I don’t actually like the store bought breads, I just find homemade ones taste much better and I like the rich dense texture of homemade bread.
\nI know some people strive to make their bread very store-bought like but for me homemade bread cannot be compared.<\/p>\n

But anyway, although I wish I had the time to make my own bread all the time, I do buy store bread for convenience sake and this morning (to improve on their taste) I decided to make some French Toast, my vegan version sans <\/i>the eggs.
\nIt’s really so simple to make that it hardly needs any recipe…<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b>
\n6 slices bread (I used pre-sliced bread but thickness can be about 1\/2″ \/ 1.5cm)
\n300ml oatmilk (more or less but make sure it’s cold, other non-dairy like soy or almond milk will work fine too)
\n2 teaspoons custard powder or cornstarch
\n3 tablespoons sugar (optional, omit if making a savoury version)
\n1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon
\nVegan margarine for frying<\/p>\n
