How to make French toast in 9 easy steps

1. Gather up your ingredients

You will need some 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 2-3 eggs, 2/3 cup of milk, 1 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 5-6 bread slices. To make things easy on yourself, pick already sliced bread because its margins have a softer consistency. You can also add your favorite toppings to the mix. Because the ingredients aren’t the most slimming, we recommend you pick some healthy ones, like fruit or home-roasted nuts.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. These are your recipe’s dry ingredients.

3. Ready the eggs

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, until they have a uniform texture. You will need about 1 egg for every two slices of bread you want to make.

4. Mix the dry ingredients with the milk

Slowly pour the milk into the dry ingredients mix, and don’t stop whisking. Incorporate the milk thoroughly. You don’t want any lumps! If you want good results, it’s best to use whole milk.

5. Incorporate the eggs

Add the whisked eggs to the batter and make sure they’re incorporated as best as possible. If you find lumps, try mixing with a food processor or blender.

6. Add the vanilla extract

Add the vanilla extract in the batter bowl. Of course, this is a step where your imagination can flourish. So you can also use rum extract, chocolate chips, pieces of dried fruit and so on. Whatever you feel like having.

7. Dip the eggs in batter

Soak the slices of bread in the batter bowl. Or you can add the batter to a shallow tray or pan, so the bread doesn’t soak in too much batter. That’s why you should only leave it in the batter for 30 seconds on each side.

Once you remove it from the bowl, let some of the batter drip off it.

8. Fry the battered bread

Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet on medium-high temperature. You can also use butter instead of oil, but that will add to the calories. And make sure you don’t burn the butter! A good compromise solution would be to use a mixture of oil and butter for the frying part.

Cook each slice for 1-2 minutes on each side.

9. Add toppings and decorate!

The toppings you use are really up to you and your mood. You can use maple syrup, caramel, chocolate, peanut butter, or nuts, fresh fruit, or dried fruit. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
