Vegan French Toast for Friday Fasting

I was inspired by a Christian friend who shared my recipe for a lenten dinner he made on a Friday. And I thought it made sense. To share a recipe for a ‘lenten dish’ on Fridays. Generally, any 100% plant-based meal is 100% lenten.

My first suggestion is for lenten French toast with leftover toppings.

In the ancient, very strict fasting of Eastern Europe, besides meat, eggs, and dairy were also excluded. So, permitted were fish and… beavers. And why mention the recipe for vegetarian French toast with suggested toppings? It’s also an excellent leftover dish. Most often wasted, especially in households, is bread. French toast is a perfect way to use stale bread with other leftovers.

INGREDIENTS:
Broth (optional)/water 150 ml + 30 ml
Chickpea flour 100 g
Black salt 1/2–1 teaspoon
Ground flaxseed 1 tablespoon (10 g) (optional)
Hulled hemp seed 30 g (optional)
Rapeseed oil 3 tablespoons (30 g)

PREPARATION:
Soak flaxseed in 3 tablespoons of water, mix well, and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Gradually add chickpea flour to the broth (see variations), stirring, preferably with a whisk.
Mix until you achieve a smooth batter, similar in consistency…
