Fabulous French Toast
Prep time: about 15 minutes
What you need:
- 1 egg
- ¼ c. milk
- dash of vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. margarine
- 2 pieces of bread
Utensils:
- medium-size bowl
- mixing spoon
- frying pan
- stove (you'll need help from your adult assistant)

- measuring cups and spoons
What to do:
- Crack the egg into a medium-size bowl and beat well. Then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
