(Recipe from ‘All Recipes of the World’, ‘Man-Gye Recipe’)
Essential Ingredients
- 4 doughnuts (recommended: doughnuts with sugar or icing coating)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the doughnuts for your French toast transformation. Place the doughnuts on a cutting board and carefully slice each one in half using a knife. This will allow the egg batter to soak in better and result in a wonderfully soft texture after cooking.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 2 fresh eggs and whisk them lightly with a fork or whisk until combined, creating a simple egg batter. You don’t need to over-whisk; just ensure the yolks and whites are mixed. Now, take your halved doughnuts and dip the cut side into the egg batter, letting them soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip them over to ensure both sides are evenly coated and have absorbed some of the delicious batter.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted and is slightly foaming, carefully place the egg-coated doughnut halves onto the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn a beautiful golden-brown color and are slightly crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning, ensuring they cook through to a delightful, soft center. Serve your French toast doughnuts warm for the best taste experience!
