Father's Day French Toast

Ingredients

4 large eggs
2/3 cup milk 160 ml
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 30 grams
1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 grams
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
8 thick slices bread

Instructions

Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. If you prefer whisking by hand, start by mixing the flour and eggs together in a shallow dish, then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
Dip bread slices into the batter, dredging them well on both sides, and place on hot, greased griddle or skillet.
Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the breads starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
Remove to a plate. Serve warm with syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

I like to use thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano - day old or frozen.
The flour helps to make more of a “batter” for dipping the bread, which yields extra fluffy and delicious french toast.
Milk: Any kind of milk will work (even dairy free), but the the higher fat milk, the creamier the batter will be.
Make Ahead Instructions: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.
Freezing Instructions: Allow french toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave.
