Cook the Toast:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or tallow.
Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it into a toast-sized rectangle or circle about ¼” thick. -
Fry Until Golden:
Cook 3–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp on the outside but cooked through. Flip carefully with a thin spatula. -
Cool & Crisp:
Let cool for 2–3 minutes on a rack — it firms up and crisps as it cools.
