Ingredients
French Toast Batter
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk (160 ml)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30 grams)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
For Cooking
- 8 thick slices bread
- Butter or oil for greasing griddle or skillet
- Syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle or Skillet: Set your griddle to 350°F (175°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Batter: Add eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, whisk the flour and eggs in a shallow dish first, then mix in the remaining ingredients.
- Coat the Bread: Dip each thick slice of bread into the batter, making sure to thoroughly dredge both sides so they absorb the mixture.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the greased hot griddle or skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown, then flip and cook the other side similarly.
- Serve Warm: Remove the French toast from the heat and serve immediately topped with syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Use thick slices of sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative for lactose intolerance.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar amount to taste for a sweeter or more spiced flavor.
- Make sure the pan or griddle is hot enough to prevent sogginess.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
