FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST

Raise your hand if you’re sick of soggy French toast? {Raises hand high!} Now granted, there are a few folks that don’t mind soggy bread. But then there are a few (read: A LOT) of folks who do. I know people who don’t eat or make French toast just because of that problem. They like the flavors, just not the texture. Well, after you try this recipe, it’s going to be the best feeling since, well, sliced bread. No sogginess but ALL the flavor. Trust me. Folks will be naming babies in your honor after they try this recipe.

PANCAKES + FRENCH TOAST = FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST

Basically what we are doing here is making a pancake batter and dipping the french toast in it. So these are kinda like pancakes and French toast all in one. You get a thin, fluffy pancake enveloping thick cinnamon French toast. YUM!

BREAKFAST FOR DINNER?

I hope you’ll whip some of these up for breakfast or even supper. Do any of y’all do that? I don’t always have time in the mornings like I would like to make breakfast. So I love to have it for dinner! What would you call that combo. of breakfast for dinner? Bupper? Brinner? Whatever you call it – I hope you’ll call it good. Oh, and by the way, Mother’s Day is on Sunday. {cough, cough, hint, hint} Momma sure does love French Toast…and bacon….and orange juice.

Fluffy French Toast recipe from The Country Cook

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
all-purpose flour
baking powder
sugar
ground cinnamon
milk
eggs
vanilla extract
Texas Toast Bread (thick sliced bread)

Texas toast, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk

HOW TO MAKE FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST:

In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar). Stir together well.

In an 8×8 square dish, or a wide bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, eggs and vanilla extract).

Mix together the wet and dry ingredients. Whisk vigorously.

Batter will be lumpy. I know, for some folks, lumps just cannot exist in any kind of batter. But this is how the batter goes here. Begin heating up your large skillet over medium-high heat. It’s best to use a nonstick skillet for this or a large nonstick electric skillet/griddle. If you don’t have nonstick, be sure to coat the pan well with vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray. Once skillet has heated up, begin dipping your bread slices into the batter. Dip one side of the bread, flip it over and dip the other. Let any excess drip off.

Then place coated bread immediately onto the pre-heated skillet.

Flip when browned and brown the other side.

Once both sides are golden brown, they are done! Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.

And drizzle on some fresh maple syrup. Look at that thick, fluffy french toast. No sogginess!

Enjoy!
