Ingredients
1 lge egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 slices bread
Directions
Beat the egg, milk,vanilla, and cinnamon together in a flat dish such
as a soup plate or pie pan, that will accomodate the bread and make
it easy to remove the bread once it's wet. Add 1 slice of bread at a
time, turning so that both sides are coated and absorb some of the
liquid. Remove the bread, slice by slice, to a plate. Heat butter or
oil on a large griddle or skillet, reduce the heat, and brown the
bread briefly on each side. Serve with syrup, honey, cooked or raw
fruit, or plain.
Servings: 3 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the period. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
