1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoons sugar
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon vanilla
2 slices of old bread per person or however many toasts they want to eat

Whisk ingredients in shallow bowl.

Soak slices of bread for a few minutes. Heat non-stick pan with some oil and butter. Fry bread on both sides until golden brown on medium heat to allow the bread to cook through like a custard.
