1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
2
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to bubble and coat the pan.
4
Cook the French Toast
Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. If your skillet gets too hot, reduce the heat to medium-low.
5
Add More Butter
After flipping the bread, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet to ensure both sides are buttery and delicious.
6
Serve
Once both sides are golden brown, remove the French toast from the skillet. Serve immediately topped with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
