SCOTTISH TOAST

Steps:

• If loaf is unsliced, cut it into thick slabs.
• Set out the sliced bread beside the stove.
• Pour oats onto a big plate, and layer a fine amount of them for dipping the toast into.
• Beat eggs, milk, salt and vanilla in a bowl deep enough to hold a slice of your bread.
• Put butter and oil in a saucepan and let oil/butter come to a good heat, not too high but not too low.
• Dip a slice of bread in egg mixture, let it absorb wet mixture until it is saturated but not too soggy.
• Put slice in oats and cover and turn to cover again.
• Place it in butter/oil mixture and cook on both sides until golden.
• Set the slices that are done on a plate lined with paper towel.
• If you are cooking for a few people, transfer to cookie sheet in low-heat oven until all slices are cooked.
• Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar, or serve with honey or syrup.
