Quickly dip each slice of bread first in the milk and then in the beaten eggs, making sure both sides are covered. Then put into the hot butter. Fry one side then turn it over. It should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove the bread with a spatula and place on serving dish. Pour in the rest of the clarified butter gradually and fry the remaining bread slices.
