Coconut French Toast
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 2 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • texas-style toast, cut half diagonally
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
  • vegetable oil
Directions
  1. In a large skillet or frying pan heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat (if you add a drop of water it should sizzle; then it's ready).
  2. Mix your beaten eggs, sugar, salt, coconut extract, milk, flour, baking powder and 1/4 cup of the unsweetened coconut together in a pie pan or bowl.
  3. On a separate plate or pie plate add the sweetened and unsweetened coconut and mix it together.
  4. Quickly dip your bread on both sides in the egg/flour mixture, then dip both sides in coconut.
  5. Add to skillet and cook until it's golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes each side.
  6. Watch these closely so they do not burn.
  7. When they are done, just remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel.
  8. Add butter and syrup, or powdered sugar and Cool Whip.
