This is not recipe, sorry.
I've put a lot of time into experimenting with my French toast recipe (and this explains my gut) & I have the following tips:
1. Instead of whisking the egg mixture, whip it with a hand mixer. The bread will get soaked through instead of getting coated with a slimy layer of eggs. And your french toast will have a much better consistency when it's done cooking.
2. Add some vanilla & cinnamon to the egg mixture for extra flavor or just sprinkle the cinnamon over the top of each slice as it is cooking.
3. Let the bread sit out overnight.
4. Use a crusty bread (although any bread will be fine, a nice, crusty bread will be better) & slice it into thick slices.
5. Fry the bread in whatever you like (oil or butter) as opposed to simply browning it.
6. Your syrup should be warm, not cold.
That is all.
I used a couple of your tips yesterday morning when I made french toast and served it to Eric in bed to celebrate finishing his first year of graduate school. It turned out well, and I'm going to use more of them next time (ie we didn't have crusty bread).
ReplyDeleteOh, good. Glad they worked for you.
