Method

Preparing the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

Soaking the Bread

  1. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Take each slice of the thick-sliced bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side, then let any excess batter drip off.

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bread

    Place the soaked slices of bread into the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Repeat with Remaining Bread

    Add more butter if necessary and repeat the soaking and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the French Toast

    Once all slices are cooked, serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
