French Toast Recipe

A classic. It is surprising how often this dead simple recipe is not properly followed. I am afraid to order it in restaurants because they almost always mess it up. Once you get the hang of it, this takes only about ten minutes.

Ingredients

• One egg
• 1/3 cup of milk
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Pinch of salt.  
• 2 slices day old bread
• butter to taste
• icing sugar to taste
• Maple syrup to taste

Directions

1. In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg and mix in 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and pinch of salt. 
2. Mix in 1/3 cup milk. 
3. Cut each slice of bread in two
4. Soak pieces of bread in mixture. Place pieces in bowl one at a time and flip to completely cover the bread. Repeat by re-soaking each piece until all liquid is absorbed. It is usually absorbed after 2-3 soakings. 
5. Cook in pan on medium heat until golden brown. 
6. Cover liberally with butter. Sprinkle icing sugar to taste and add maple syrup to taste.
7. Enjoy!

Notes

This does not magically create bacon. You will have to do that separately on your own.
