Saturday mornings are for breakfast. For yummy, “fancy” but easy breakfast! Now that I have little ones, “sleeping in” no longer happens. Scratch that; sleeping in no longer exists in my world! So in order to drag myself out of bed on the weekend I’ve got to envision something delicious to make for breakfast for the family! I have so many favorites, including this Power Smoothie, and these Lemon Blueberry Pancakes.
This Classic French Toast is just that though; a total CLASSIC! I use a simple pie pan to mix the ingredients together. I’ve found that a pie pan is the perfect size to soak two pieces of bread at once, and fit all the ingredients without spilling. I also use a griddle for cooking french toast. Heck, I use that thing for everything from pancakes and bacon to cooking tortillas.
I love my French toast topped with fresh fruit, powdered sugar and good ol’ fashioned Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup! Ok, now I’m drooling. Enjoy everybody!
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 thick slices of bread
-
Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease well with butter.
-
Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and place on hot griddle. Cook for a few minutes on both sides, until golden brown. Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar and syrup.

My daughter has just discovered that she loves french toast, so I really need to start making it. I’ve never used a “recipe” and so far she doesn’t like the way I make it. I’ll have to try this – it looks really yummy!

I was skeptical of the flour, even more so when the batter turned clumpy. I pulled out my Emerson blender to get it nice and smooth. Turned out to be the best french toast I have ever made.

I like to substitute a little coffee creamer for the milk, especially now in the fall, using Pumpkin Spice creamer! So yummy! The Cinnabun creamer is also a great one all year.

Made this spontaneously today and we loved it! The Little Miss had 2 toasts! Glad I stumbled upon it, thank you Lauren for sharing 🙂

buy a small container of real French vanilla ice cream, 1/2 to 1 pint.. let the ice cream melt and use it in place of the mixture…

Love this recipie. Easy and tasty. Had some clumping issues, but did not affect taste!!
Melinda says
Perfect! Was enough for 10 slices of Texas Toast. Flour made it slightly clumpy, but couldn’t be tasted once cooked. My son loves his french toast and he approved of this recipe 🙂 Will definitely use again next time!
Rose says
This is how I have made french toast for years!!!!
Emma says
This is very similar to another recipe that I have. A tip for those who haven’t used a recipe with flour: try mixing all dry ingredients together and separately mixing all the wet ingredients. Then slowly add the two together, whisking very well the whole time. It will get rid of any clumping and make it much smoother.

Can challah bread be used. It’s all I have on hand.
Lauren Allen says
That should work great!
