I have made this French toast for my 12 year old son a few times, and he just loves it!! I have made French toast in the past, but this recipe is much better. This recipe will be a go to recipe in the future for sure, it’s delicious.
When I make French Toast, I mix just egg and milk together. I dip the bread in that mixture and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the bread right when I put it on the griddle. It makes a yummy crunchy crust on the french toast….and when I have leftover egg mixture i just fry it in a pan and make scrambled eggs. No waste?
your frying pan may be on too high a heat if outside is burning and inside is raw
in the netherlands we cal them “wentelteefjes”……but I guess somebody already told you that….hahaha
One egg for 12 slices of bread?
Thanks for pointing that out Linda. It is a typo and we will change it. Should be 2 eggs
Try triple sec instead of vanilla for a faint orange flavor
Is 1 1/2 cups of milk to 2 eggs correct? That’s a lot of milk. Unless maybe I don’t use enough. My french toast comes out rather eggy. Maybe I need to use more milk.
It is Aileen but you can easily adjust the recipe for your taste. I don’t even use a recipe I just pour the stuff in so it doesn’t need to be exact. Just use 1 egg instead of two. Also if you have any batter left you can put it in the fridge and use it the next day.
Thank you Jill!
