Simple French Toast

October 11, 2009 by Garlic Girl Leave a Comment

This French Toast is simple, but it has a couple extra steps that make it extra special. It’s not just about a quick dip in eggs and milk – I think that usually results in boring, soggy and limp French Toast. If you take a couple minutes to make a “batter,” you’ll see it can make all the difference in the world. It was my daughter’s 19th birthday (oh my goodness, my baby is grown up!) yesterday and a bunch of her friends were over to celebrate her. I made this French Toast (with some bacon of course) and they gobbled it up!

Makes about 4-5 pieces

Ingredients
5 slices soft and firm whole wheat (or white bread) – the firmness really makes a difference.
2 eggs
1/4 c flour
1/4 c milk
2-3 tbls melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
a little vegetable oil
a pinch of salt
1 tbls sugar

Preparation
Pre-heat frying pan. In shallow bowl whisk eggs, then the butter (cooled), followed by milk, then the vanilla. Mix in the sugar, flour and salt until the mixture is blended well and smooth.

Add a little butter and a little oil to the pan. I like to add a little oil, because it prevents the butter from burning.

Dip one slice of bread in the batter – quickly. It doesn’t need to soak. Just a few seconds on each side is fine. Now place the slice of dipped bread in the pan and let it slightly brown on that side (probably about a minute). Flip and do the same.

You may have to adjust the temperature based on the first one to make sure it’s not too hot (or cool). Remove the cooked slice and place on a plate with a paper towel. Repeat this for the rest

Optional: Drizzle some butter on each piece after they’re cooked.

After they’re all done and plated, you can then sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.

Serving Suggestion
 I think French Toast tastes great with bacon. Any fruit topping, like blueberries or strawberries would be great as well. Oh, and of course you can heat up some really good (and natural) maple syrup and drizzle over the top!
Enjoy!
