Celestial
"A twist on the traditional French toasts with a little vanilla custard, confectioners' sugar, and whipped cream topped with fruit. Excellent for tea parties."

Ready In
- Whisk eggs, 3 tablespoons milk, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a shallow bowl until smooth.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Dip 4 pieces of bread in egg mixture and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pieces.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of milk with custard powder in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Bring remaining milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir custard mixture into the saucepan. Reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until custard thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Place 8 bread toasts on a shallow tray. Spread custard over each piece. Cover with remaining 8 toasts to form a sandwich. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Top each sandwich with a dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry. Insert a toothpick through the fruit to hold the sandwich together.

This was a fun twist on french toast and the flavor was good. I used my custard recipe that I fill cakes with and it was a nice balance with the french toast.

These make very pretty little snacks. Don't expect to eat them as finger food, a fork is required. I used 'Bird's Custard powder, a British staple. I mix the custard powder & sugar with a lit...
