Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sandwich bread
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, mix the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Set a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Dip one side of a slice of bread quickly into the milk mixture and immediately place it, wet side down, on the hot skillet. Repeat for the other slices.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on the dipped side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Flip each slice and cook the dry side for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and golden.
Remove the slices from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining butter and bread if necessary.
Serve the fake French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
