Ingredients

• 4 slices thick slices of milk bread or white bread, crusts removed
• 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
• 2 Eggs
• 3 tbsp Milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 4 tbsp neutral oil, for frying
• 20 g butter, to serve
• 3 tbsp golden syrup or condensed milk, to serve

Method

1. Spread peanut butter on two slices of bread and top each with a second slice to make two thick sandwiches. Press the edges together firmly.
2. Whisk the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a shallow dish. Soak each sandwich for about 30 seconds a side, including the edges, so the egg seals them.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the toasts for 2–3 min a side, plus a few seconds on each edge, until deep golden and puffed.
4. Drain briefly on kitchen paper, cut in half, top with a slab of butter and pour over the syrup. Eat hot, with a cup of milk tea.

Tips

• Contains peanuts, egg, milk and wheat. Kaya (coconut jam) is a popular filling swap.
