Notes

Two important notes for this recipe:
  1. You cannot omit the vanilla as it gives the french toast its doughnut flavor
  2. It is your choice whether or not to use powdered or castor sugar- it just depends on which one you prefer. Powdered sugar has a tendency to dissolve, so you may have to dip double.
