Ingredients
Milk Cooking Spray
Eggs Butter
Cinnamon Maple Syrup
Bread
Truth be told, Ken (my husband) is a better cook than me
So I am proud to say -my kids love my french toast the best!
There are two secrets and I'm going to tell you what they are.
1. You have to get the right proportions between eggs, milk and cinnamon -
Then you have to whip them properly before dipping the bread
2. Never leave the bread in the mix, just in and out.
Turn on an electric skillet -325 (medium heat)
Begin by adding 3 eggs in a shallow pan
add a big glug of milk ( about 1/3 of a cup)
Beat well with a fork
When fully mixed you want a nice rich yellow color.
I need to add one more egg to the above photo
Add about 2 tbsp. of cinnamin
and add more as needed
whip vigorously with a fork
This looks about right but I need a bit more milk
(The problem is when you stop whipping
the cinnamon clumps together and floats to the top of the milk)
The above photo is perfect
Spray electric skillet with cooking spray
Now, dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture,
one side and then immediately the other
and place on skillet
Above you can see the secret
As you dip the bread each piece picks up the cinnamon,
leaving less for the next
The perfect piece is the far right on the back row
I promise - who ever get's that piece is one lucky guy!
And I hope he doesn't tell the guy who gets the piece on the far left of the back row.
Not Enough Cinnamon
This needs to be whipped vigorously before dipping another piece of bread
Awww - golden brown - Perfect
And, it's a great idea to add a piece of ham on the side
Love this skillet - Grills meats perfectly
