Egg Batter

Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Take each slice of thick bread and dip it into the egg batter. Ensure both sides are coated evenly and allow excess batter to drip off.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the dipped bread slices in the hot skillet. Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
