Top Tips
Don’t Over-Soak the Bread
Dip just long enough to coat because too much and the bread gets soggy.
Use Day-Old Bread if You Can
Slightly stale bread holds up better and absorbs the batter without falling apart.
Control the Heat
Medium heat is perfect, too high and it’ll burn before the inside cooks.
Whisk the Batter Well
Ensure the sugar and salt are fully dissolved for even flavor.
Add Honey While Warm
It melts beautifully and spreads evenly across the toast.
