I decided to make french toast today so looked for a recipe to see what different ideas I could get. With so many reviews and all 5 stars, I figured this one was worth trying. It was definitely worth it. I had 2 italian buns in the freezer so that's what I used for 2 of us. I cut them on an angle about 1 inch thick. I did what CountryLady suggested with the cinnamon mixed with the vanilla. I also increased the amount of cinnamon from 1/8 tsp to 1/2 tsp. We even sprinkled some more on top with the syrup. You really do have to be careful of the temperature of the frying pan. If it's too hot, you will burn the toast because of the sugar content in the egg mixture. At first when I was mixing all the ingredients together, it was really lumpy from the flour. So I suggest using a whisk and really beat it to make it smooth. My husband and I loved this way of cooking French Toast. Thanks.

Great French toast - as good as (or better) than Denny's! TIP: Mix the cinnamon into the vanilla before adding to the egg mixture - it won't float on top. Thanx for posting Earnhardt!

Wow! Are my friends impressed with me! I used french bread that I sliced 1" thick at a slant, and followed everything else as directed except for adding a little extra milk at the end to make the last bit of egg mixture go a little further. I had enough of the mixture for the whole loaf of bread. Be careful not to get your griddle too hot. Served this with bacon and homemade hot maple syrup and my guests are still raving. Delicious!!
