Deep Fried French Toast

Description
Crispy on the outside and soft within, this decadent version is fried until golden and often dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 5 1/2 teaspoons white sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
- 8 thick slices (1-inch thick) french bread
Directions
- Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, followed by the flour; whisk until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until the egg has penetrated through to the center of the bread. Wipe off the excess egg. Cook in the deep-fryer several pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown on both sides and no longer soggy in the center, about 4 minutes. Drain the French toast on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
