French Toast
This easy French Toast recipe is the BEST, featuring a thicker batter and cinnamon sugar flavors, perfect for breakfast.
Equipment
- Griddle
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup milk (160 ml)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 8 thick slices bread
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. If you prefer whisking by hand, start by mixing the flour and eggs together in a shallow dish, then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
- 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.
Notes
I like to use thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It's nice if the bread is a few days old or slightly stale. The flour helps to make more of a batter for dipping the bread, yielding extra fluffy and delicious French toast. Any kind of milk will work, but the higher fat milk, the creamier the batter will be. The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, and French toast can be frozen for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or in the microwave.
