Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 slices of bread any type you prefer
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Butter for frying
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Skillet or griddle
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Gather your ingredients so all items are ready and organized.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter to coat the surface.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides and letting excess drip off.
  5. Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. If the French toast is browning too quickly, adjust the heat to maintain an even cooking temperature.
  7. Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm if needed.
  8. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Pro Tip: Use day-old bread for even better texture, as it soaks up the custard without falling apart.
