Directions

5 mins to prep

20 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    To make the blueberry compote, add the blueberries and a dash of water to a small saucepan. Over medium heat, cook for a few minutes until the blueberries have softened and leaked some of their juices.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, make a slurry out of the corn flour and water. Quickly add the slurry, sugar, lemon juice and salt to the saucepan. Cook for 1 minute or until the mixture has thickened. Add more water for a runnier compote or cook longer for a thicker compote. Set aside until needed.

  3. Step 3

    To prepare the French toast, add the corn flour, custard powder and half of the milk to a bowl and mix until smooth. Add the remaining milk, sugar, cinnamon and salt and mix until combined.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat a fry pan over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil.

  5. Step 5

    Dip a slice of bread in the milk mixture, generously coating both sides. Place in the fry pan. Repeat with more slices of bread until you’ve filled up your pan.

  6. Step 6

    Cook the bread for 4-5 minutes on each side until their surface is golden brown. Transfer to a serving plate.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat for the remaining slices of bread. You may need to add more butter or oil.

  8. Step 8

    Serve with blueberry compote and any other toppings!
