One of our favorite breakfasts is French Toast. I started out the master (main) French Toast cooker. But, because we have a large family, it takes me forever to make it when I have to make it for everyone. It's one of my husband's favorite breakfasts so I get requests for it often. If I've just make a small batch for him and the older kids wake up and smell it and want some, well now, they make it themselves. I even get treated to some at times!
I make my recipe a little different from a lot of recipes I see in that I use flour in my batter. I stumbled across a Fluffy French Toast recipe on All Recipes that is similar to what I do (I just throw things in at this point, but I needed a recipe that the kids could follow, so this fit the bill).
What you need:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 12 thick slices bread
What you do:
- (Now for cooking, as I said above, I use margarine or Crisco and although it adds more calories, I put in a new pat of margarine with each batch (I generally cook two slices at a time). I find it comes out "ugly" if I don't re-margarine the griddle/pan). Make sure it is cooked well because it came come out "liquidy" in the inside if not.
This recipe makes 12 slices, so I wanted to reduce it for the kids (hey, makes a great math exercise for homeschooling, but I cheated and used All Recipes' recipe adjuster gadget).
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/8 pinch salt
- 1/2 eggs (we'll just round that to 1 egg)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 thick slices bread
