Here's the way French Toast has been made in my family for at least 4 generations - but until I got into high school, we called it "egg-bread", as my back-country French-American grandparents had. Everyone I make it for loves it!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 loaf Texas toast thick bread, Sliced (1 lb.)
1 dozen egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cinnamon, ground (more if needed)
butter or shortening, to grease skillet

Directions

1
Whisk the eggs till frothy.
2
Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
3
Over medium heat, lightly grease skillet with shortening (butter will burn very quickly, so exercise caution if using butter). I use a paper towel, so I can use it repeatedly, with every 2 or 3 pans of French toast. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, on both sides.
4
Do this quickly, so as not to completely soak the bread.
5
Cook in skillet over med/med-high heat for approx 5 min per side. You may need to flip more than once to get th e desired golden-brown color.
6
Serve with butter and powdered sugar, or preserves (my favorite) or syrup.

Wonderful french toast. I scaled it back to serve 2 people. I followed the directions as given, but I did eliminate the sugar, which I didn't feel was needed since we drench our french toast in maple syrup anyway. So good! Thanks for sharing Cheryl

this is how my dad always made french toast, and i was shocked to hear my bf's parents and everyone else made it differently! i always scale it down to 2 people by using 5 slices bread, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 2tbsp sugar, 1/2 capful of vanilla, and cinnamon to taste. hope this helps!

Easy and delicious! I halved the ingredients since it was only for the hubby and me, used regular wheat bread and forgot the vanilla, and it was still very good! Made 10 slices using 6 eggs.
