This classic French Toast recipe offers a simple yet delicious breakfast option featuring thick slices of bread dipped in a smooth, spiced batter made with eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Cooked on a hot griddle or skillet to a golden brown, this dish is perfect for a comforting morning meal served warm with syrup and powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk (160 ml)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)

Main Ingredients

  • 8 thick slices bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the French toast.
  2. Mix the Batter: Place eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer to mix by hand, whisk the flour and eggs in a shallow dish first, then incorporate the rest of the ingredients until fully combined.
  3. Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the batter, coating both sides thoroughly. This ensures the bread absorbs the flavorful mixture.
  4. Cook the Bread: Place the coated bread slices on the hot, greased griddle or skillet. Cook for several minutes until the bottom side turns golden brown and then flip to cook the other side similarly.
  5. Serve Warm: Once both sides are cooked and golden, remove the French toast from the cooking surface. Serve immediately while warm with syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread such as brioche or Texas toast for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the cooking surface is properly greased to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the cooking temperature as needed to avoid burning while allowing thorough cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, try substituting whole milk or adding a splash of heavy cream.
  • French toast is best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
