| 1. | In a bowl, beat eggs just till yolks and whites are mixed. Add milk, sugar, vanilla essence and salt. Mix. |
| 2. | Turn 1 slice bread in egg mixture leaving each side in mixture about 20 seconds. Remove with a spatula and put on a plate. Turn and remove 2 more slices in the same way. |
| 3. | Heat frying pan on medium heat about 2 minutes. Add 1½ tsp/ 7.5 ml butter and spread in pan all over the area where the slices will be placed. |
| 4. | Add the 3 soaked slices. (Pour egg mixture leftover on the plate back into the bowl.) Fry on both sides till browned (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove. (While slices are frying turn 3 more slices in egg mixture as described in step 2 and keep aside.) |
| 5. | Soak and fry remaining slices in the same way as in step 4, adding 1½ tsp/ 7.5 ml butter in pan for each batch. Adjust heat to medium-low if pan is too hot for later batches. Serve hot with honey or jam. |
