Description
This recipe was given to me by my grandmother. It is a great way to use up day old white bread and the other ingredients are most always on hand. My kids love them!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- canola oil
- 10 slices white bread
- strawberry (or any flavor) jam
- confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl
- stir together eggs
- milk
- vanilla
- and sugar until well blended and sugar is dissolved. In a separate bowl
- mix flour with baking powder and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture until no lumps remain. Set aside.
- Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Make sandwiches with the bread
- spreading jam evenly in the center. Trim away crusts
- and cut each sandwich into quarters
- wiping away any excess jam. Dip each quarter into batter
- coating completely.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding
