The non-sugary toast itself had basically no flavor. If I wanted something drenched in sugar I would've just eaten straight sugar. That was the only thing giving this french toast any taste and it wasn't worth it.

I almost swooned when I tasted this. It was fast and easy and really did taste just like those sugary, grainy, bun-shaped doughnuts! And the sauce was reminiscent of yummy fruit filling... but better, because it's mostly real fruit!

I used day old sourdough loaf bread and only used 3 tsp of vanilla essence, lite milk and added a couple of tsps of cinnamon to coat with the sugar and they were absolutely beautiful. My family loved them. I didn't soak the bread for 5 minutes, not even 1 minute. For those looking for a quick, inexpensive dessert or breakfast this recipe is a must.

This one's free. Unless your child is DRINKING the vanilla there is no danger, the alcohol COOKS OFF in the skillet! Of course you'll smell it....BEFORE it's cooked. Try giving the stuff a whiff AFTER you cook it....there ya go....

I have perfected this recipe, I believe, by adding a dash of salt in the egg mixtures, using 3 eggs, and mixing a couple of teaspoons of high quality cocoa powder i.e. Valrhona unsweetened, into the sugar mix. This gives the toast a nice dark, chocolaty crust when it melts with the sugar. I usually leave the toast in the sugar mix for 30 seconds and then flip it over and spread the power over both sides.

I tried this recipe and my whole family LOVED LOVED LOVED it!! Was unbelievably easy and delicious!! As for the comments regarding the soaking of the bread - if you watched the episode you will notice Nigella uses a piece of THICK bread, which is also dried out - that is where the soaking for 5 minutes comes from. If you use standard American bread, then obviously you will have to adjust accordingly. As for the vanilla containing too much alcohol for children, that is an easy fix if you are that concerned about it....but I wouldnt be. I used thick slices of italian bread and left them out to "stale" up for a bit, soaked them using the recipe and used the viewers posting to make the sauce - was fantastic!! My whole family loved it.

And to the woman who ranted about the alcohol for her children... If you're not up to realizng that vanilla has a high alcohol content and then futher not able to translate that into how much you'll ingest, I would suggest you give up cooking altogether.
