Ingredients

2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 slices plain bread, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup oil for frying
1 cup milk, divided
2 tablespoons custard powder
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup whipped cream
8 strawberries, halved
8 toothpicks

Steps:

Whisk eggs, 3 tablespoons milk, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a shallow bowl until smooth.
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Dip 4 pieces of bread in egg mixture and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pieces.
Combine 2 tablespoons of milk with custard powder in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Bring remaining milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir custard mixture into the saucepan. Reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until custard thickens, about 5 minutes.
Place 8 bread toasts on a shallow tray. Spread custard over each piece. Cover with remaining 8 toasts to form a sandwich. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Top each sandwich with a dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry. Insert a toothpick through the fruit to hold the sandwich together.
