Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 slices of brioche or milk bread
- ¼ cup butter softened at room temperature
- 5 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cake flour or all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix softened butter and sugar together until a smooth paste. Add egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract and mix well together. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until you get a thickened dough.
- Preheat air fryer to 375F (190C) for a few minutes. Spread the butter evenly on top of each slice of bread. Use a knife to make diagonal marks on the butter to create cross-hatch marks. Gently brush the top with egg wash.
- Add the toast to the air fryer ensuring there is enough space. Air fry for 6-8 mins until golden brown and crispy on top.
