Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 large non-stick pan
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp buckwheat flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar (or other kind)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp black Indian salt (kala namak)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional)
  • 1/2 tbsp semolina flour (optional)
  • 3/4 cup plant milk
Others
  • 4 slices of bread (I used spelt sandwich bread, see note 1 for gf option.)
  • Vegan butter (for frying)
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter - In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth. Stir the batter well to prevent the cornstarch from settling at the bottom, and continue stirring occasionally during the process.
  • Ready the Batter for Dipping - Pour the batter into a wide, shallow bowl to make it easy to dip the bread slices.
  • Heat the Pan - Heat a large non-stick pan over high heat. Add a generous amount of vegan butter to coat the surface.
  • Dip and Fry - Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Place the slices in the hot pan. Repeat until the pan is full.
  • Cook Until Golden - Fry the bread for approximately 8 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Flip each slice and cook the other side for about 4 minutes.
  • Fry Remaining Slices - For additional slices, add more vegan butter as needed to maintain the perfect fry.
  • Add Toppings - Once cooked, top your French toast with your favorite toppings. For a sweet option, try vegan yogurt, fresh fruits, and a drizzle of maple syrup. For a savory twist, add a slice of vegan cheese, a dollop of yogurt, and chopped chives.

Notes

  1. The recipe can easily be made gluten-free by replacing the bread with slices of gluten-free bread.
