to a Craft Show on Saturday and to breakfast to exchange Christmas and Birthday Gifts. When we have breakfast Debbie Finney Sutton usually wants to share French Toast with me which will give us the opportunity to celebrate National French Toast Day
With Charlie out of Town I might even make French Toast for breakfast which David likes but Charlie doesn’t. like French Toast but he did try mine the other day and said it wasn’t bad. If we were still #Homeschooling full time I would have had Charlie, make French Toast and he would have had to try the recipe he made.
If your homeschooling your children let them take a Cooking Class and let them make different varities of French Toast to share with their friends and family. I’ve included an Ol’ Fashioned French Toast recipe below for you to use. Remember the more Powdered Sugar you use the better your French Toast will be.
Old Fashion French Toast recipe that’s simple, comforting, and delicious using basic pantry staples and creates golden, fluffy slices perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 slices thick-sliced bread
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Make the batter: Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Heat skillet: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip bread: Submerge each slice of bread in the batter for about 30 seconds per side.
- Cook: Place dipped bread in the skillet. Cook 1½–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Add more butter as needed.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup. Enjoy warm!
Tips for Perfect French Toast
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread (like brioche or challah) for better absorption.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches for even browning.
- Experiment with toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of nutmeg for extra flavor.
This recipe is hearty and nostalgic, bringing back the cozy feel of a diner-style breakfast. Would you like me to also share a lighter version (less sugar and butter) for a healthier twist? If so leave me a comment and I will get to work on what you need.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
