Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 thick slices bread

Steps:

  • Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it's okay if the flour doesn't mix in completely smooth.
  • Dip bread slices into the batter, dredging them well on both sides, and place on hot, greased griddle or skillet.
  • Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the breads starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
  • Remove to a plate. Serve warm with syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

FRENCH TOAST

You can use white sandwich bread, but French toast also works well with other loaves, including brioche, challah, cinnamon-raisin, whole-wheat, French, even sourdough.

Time 20m

Yield 6 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
⅔ cup whole milk (or high-fat milk alternative)
1 teaspoon sugar
Dash of salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Dash of cinnamon (optional)
6 slices white bread (or bread of choice)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Toppings, such as fruit, syrup, butter, or powdered sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and salt (as well as the optional vanilla extract and cinnamon, if using) in a medium shallow bowl until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working with one bread slice at a time, soak the bread in the egg mixture for 3 to 4 seconds per side. Don't let the slices sit too long; they will turn soggy and fall apart.
  • Once butter is melted and bubbling, add 3 soaked bread slices to hot pan and cook until golden brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (There may be some spots that do not brown; that's normal.)
  • Flip each slice, and cook until gold brown, or about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and egg-soaked bread. Serve hot with toppings of choice.

MY FAVORITE FRENCH TOAST

I'd been polishing this recipe for a while, then found the absolute best bread to use and now The Beau says I've ruined him for all other French Toast. It's called shoku pan, it's from the Japanese bakery. Shoku pan is wonderfully square and comes sliced either thin or thick--each of the thick slices are an inch fat! Look for it at an Asian market, I get mine at Uwajimaya or 99 Ranch Market and buy it a couple of days before I'm planning to make this so the bread is slightly stale. If you can't find shoku pan, substitute another thick sliced Texas Toast style bread.
