Ingredients
– 2 slices soft white bread (preferably slightly stale, 2 days old Asian style bread recommended)
– 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
– 1 large egg
– ¼ cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil (like canola)
– 1 thin slice unsalted butter
– Golden syrup or pancake syrup for serving
Instructions
1-First, spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and top it with the second slice to make a sandwich. Then, trim off the crusts with a serrated knife for a neat finish.
2-Next, separate the egg white and yolk, whisk the egg white until it’s foamy and doubled in volume, and gently mix in the yolk.
3-Heat the oil in a small, heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat until it’s about ¼ inch deep and bubbles when you test it.
4-Soak the sandwich on all sides in the egg mixture for about 1 minute, then fry it while basting with hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
5-Finally, drain it on paper towels and serve hot with butter and syrup, cut into cubes for easy eating.
