Fluffy French Toast

After using the same french toast recipe for a few years, I have now found a new favorite.  The flour is the secret.  Top with powdered sugar and maple syrup.  Soooooo good!


Fluffy French Toast

Adapted from this recipe on Allrecipes.com

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time:  10 minutes
Serves:  12

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• Pinch of salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 12 thick slices of bread

Directions:

1. Place flour in a large mixing bowl and slowly whisk in milk.  Whisk in egg, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and sugar.
2. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat.
3. Place bread in the egg mixture and let soak briefly.  Cook bread on each side until browned.

Notes & Suggestions:

We used French bread, but this also works great with Texas Toast type bread.

Make sure you keep the egg mixture stirred up because the cinnamon will float to the top and the flour will sink to the bottom.

Place any leftover pieces in between pieces of wax paper and freeze.  For a quick breakfast, pop them in the toaster until heated through.

We like to add the zest of 1 medium orange to the egg/milk mixture.  It gives it a great orange taste.
