Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip each slice of bread into the buttermilk mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Let the excess drip off before placing the bread in the skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
Serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup, if desired.
