Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 French Fries *were* called Freedom Fries for a microsecond, but I don't think any of the fast food restaurants called them that long enough to make the change on their menu boards...I suppose you can call them Chips like the English do...I don't think French Toast ever got called Freedom Toast...With that said, here's a recipe for Vegan French Toast1 c rice or soy milk2-4 TBSP flour1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract1-2 TBSP sweetener of choice (Agave is what I generally use, but this is totally optional)Optional-oil or margarine for cooking-use a nonstick pan to make it comply with fat-freeBread of choice (slightly stale bread probably works best)In a shallow baking dish, combine all wet ingredients. Whisk in flour & sweetener until well combined.Heat skillet and add vegan margarine or oil of choice, if using. Dip each piece of bread in the mixture and place in skillet. Allow to brown and then flip & brown on the other side.Serve with favorite syrup (maple, apple spice, agave, etc), jam or other sweet condiment. --- On Thu, 4/9/09, jennifer trump <jennifur wrote:jennifer trump <jennifurRe: What do we call these foods, btw?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I guess you're right. It was momentary that they were Freedom Fries. And I don't think it was long enough to make anyone even remember the instance. Now the real question here is about the toast. Has anyone tried this recipe yet? How good does it turn out? Is is soggy or obnoxious to handle? ~M , Jenn <batmanusdmychina wrote: > > French Fries *were* called Freedom Fries for a microsecond, but I don't think any of the fast food restaurants called them that long enough to make the change on their menu boards...I suppose you can call them Chips like the English do...I don't think French Toast ever got called Freedom Toast... > > With that said, here's a recipe for Vegan French Toast > > 1 c rice or soy milk > 2-4 TBSP flour > 1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract > 1-2 TBSP sweetener of choice (Agave is what I generally use, but this is totally optional) > Optional-oil or margarine for cooking-use a nonstick pan to make it comply with fat-free > Bread of choice (slightly stale bread probably works best) > > In a shallow baking dish, combine all wet ingredients.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I make this french toast quite often, also adding a bit of cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg to the dipping batter.It looks and tastes like traditional french toast. It isn't soggy if you use slightly dried out bread (and thicker cut bread slices helps too, but if you just have normal sliced bread, it's OK) and if you just quickly dip the slices and not let them sit in the dipping batter, you won't have soggy french toast.Nonstick pans vary greatly-some are definitely better than others. Some claim to be nonstick, but food sticks anyway, so that is the only factor that I can think of for this to be "obnoxious" to handle.--- On Thu, 4/9/09, Marilyn <Bkspedit wrote:Marilyn <Bkspedit Re: What do we call these foods, btw? + Recipe Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 10:54 AM I guess you're right.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Wonderful! I was only thinking of the diference that real eggs might make to this recipe. But if you say it works fine I'll believe you! I just was curious how the change could effect the final product. And I'm slightly curious how regular bread would work in this. Please, if the husband catches bread that might be going stale he'd just throw it out anyway. Forget about the birds or animals outside that would eat it. He's impossible like that. Actually I'm off to make Christmas Bread for Easter for my dad in the hospital this week. Pannetone. I know it has hard-boiled eggs as decorations baked right into the top. This may be dads last Easter anyway. We'll just make him smile. Thats all we ask. , Jenn <batmanusdmychina wrote: > > I make this french toast quite often, also adding a bit of cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg to the dipping batter. > > It looks and tastes like traditional french toast.
