Sunday brunch

Quick French toast for 2
2 eggs
1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp sugar
sprinkle of cinnamon to taste
4 slices of bread
1/2 tsp margarine/spread of choice
Whisk together first 6 ingredients until well mixed to form a thin batter. Soak the bread in the egg mixture. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat and grease the griddle w/ margarine. Panfry the bread until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes/side. Serve w/ powdered sugar and maple syrup. Sliced fruit is a nice topping too.

Soy milk subbed pretty well here in terms of flavor - no off flavors, the vanilla soy was fine. The only thing I noticed texturally was that the batter got a little tough when cooked - the outside of the french toast has a bit of chew. Not sure if that's from overmixing the batter, or if it has something to do w/ the soymilk. I noticed similar results when I substituted soy milk in other baking so it may be something in how the soy mixes w/ flour. May have to check the protein content in soy vs regular milk. Will have to explore further.

Tonight, I try mashed potatoes w/o dairy....
