INGREDIENTS:
- 1 loaf Texas toast thick bread
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
COATING:
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 cup sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, milk, flour, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a smaller bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar to make the coating.
- Dip each slice of Texas toast bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on both sides.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Fry the bread slices in the hot oil for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Sprinkle the cooked French toast with the cinnamon-sugar coating mixture.
- Serve the French toast warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- If making a large batch, you may need to add more vegetable oil to the pan as needed to ensure the bread doesn’t stick and cooks evenly.
- To freeze leftovers, allow the French toast to cool completely, then store in ziplock freezer bags. To reheat, simply microwave individual pieces for about 30 seconds per side until heated through.
