Dip the toast into the batter, do NOT soak them, and place in the pan/on the griddle to pan fry.
Pan fry on each side for 3-5 minutes until it is crispy on the outside (check to ensure it doesn't burn), then turn over and pan fry on the other side. Both sides should be nice and golden and crispy.
If your pan can hold all the bread, you can put them in all at once, or in two batches.
Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, dusted with cinnamon and coconut cream.
