Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    If using day-old bread, slice it into thick slices (about 1 inch thick). If using fresh bread, you may want to let it sit out for a few hours to dry slightly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 2-3 minutes per side for optimal flavor absorption.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet or non-stick pan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, add 2 slices of the soaked bread. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the French toast warm, topped with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar as desired.
