Ingredients
  

French Toast Batter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other Ingredients
  • 4 slices thick-sliced bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
  • Maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • Shallow dish
  • Whisk
  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt one tablespoon of butter, ensuring it coats the surface evenly.
Cooking
  1. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 10-15 seconds per side, allowing it to soak up the batter without becoming soggy.
  2. Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.

Notes

For extra fluffy French toast, use challah or brioche bread. Adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to your taste. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for a warmer spice profile.
