Method

  1. 1

    In a wide bowl whisk eggs, milk, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low. Add 1 tbsp ghee.

    Place the soaked slice on the hot pan. Cook 90 seconds until deep golden, then flip and cook the other side 60 seconds.

  5. 5

    Repeat for all slices, adding more ghee as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, drizzled with honey or maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
