Traditional French Toast
slices of day old bread
1 cups milk
3 eggs
dash of salt
1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla
Use Texas Toast, sliced French or Italian bread, or some other sturdy day old bread for this.
Mix the milk, eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together and pour in a shallow dish so you can easily dip the bread in. Dip each piece of bread, turning so that it can soak up the milk and egg mixture. Heat a skillet or griddle with a bit of butter in it. Lift up the bread and let it drain just a bit, then fry until brown. Turn over and cook until the other side is done. Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
Leftovers freeze wonderfully and make a nice weekday breakfast. Just pop the frozen bread into your toaster.
