Step 1

Take a large skillet and place on medium to high heat. Meanwhile, using a large bowl, add the milk and eggs and whisk until well mixed.

Step 2

Add the vanilla essence and the white sugar and mix again.

Step 3

Working one at a time, take a slice of sourdough bread. Dunk it into your egg mixture, flip it, and dunk it again. You want the bread to be entirely covered, no bare patches!

Step 4

Drop each coated piece of bread into the pan, cook for around 2 minutes per side until it is lightly golden, then flip.

Step 5

Remove the French toast from the pan and dust with a little powder sugar.

Step 6

Serve with the topping of your choice.
