Best French Toast Of All Time

I made it tonight.

Thick sliced French bread. Delicious vanilla-cinnamon custard soaked through and through. Real maple syrup. Crispy and brown on the outside. Warm and moist on the inside.

Just thought I'd brag.

I make it:

three medium eggs
one tbsp of vanilla
one tsp of cinnimon
one cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
three tbsp of corn syrup

Mix in a blender (it makes for a smoother consistency).

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Use six thickly sliced, crusty French bread pieces. Let it sit out for at least eight hours in a warm room (you want it mostly to totally stale).

Preheat the skillet with REAL butter. Soak each piece of bread in the custard mixture for between two and three minutes.

Fry on triddle. Before flipping, lift the bread with the spatula and spread a small amount of butter on the griddle before putting the uncooked side down.

Place all pieces French toast on wire rack and then place in oven for 15 minutes.

Pull out. Slather with butter and syrup.

Enjoy this small taste of heaven.

string have you ever tried using rasin toste insted of plain bread for your french toste?
it is DELICIOUS

 

I have...YUMMMMMMMMMmm So when you are making a lot of pieces how many do you eat before you actually set them down on the table? lol

 

well, PB hates eggs so i generally just make it for myself, i just eat it straight off the grill

 

Indeed. It's good. The only issue is that it always comes pre-sliced, which is generally too thin. I like it thick. Also, it's very moist, and for it to absorb the custard, it has to be almost stale.

Hey, do they call it "French Toast" in Oz?

i find it facinating you use cream in it and sugar. I just make a plain egg wash and then put cinnimon and icing sugar on it afterwards

 

They call them "sultanas" in the UK too. I remember buying "sultana bran" instead of "raisin bran".

OH SHORTY!!! I forgot, the recipe needs 1/2 tsp of salt or it won't taste right.

And invite us all over?

 

"Sultana", is short for "sultana raisin".
It's a raisin made from a sultana grape, so not all raisins are sultanas.

 

i hate french toast

 

Whats French toast ?

 

IMO its fucking horrible

 

Bread soaked in an egg mixture and then fried or grilled etc.

 

its too arrogant and whiny, not strong and masculine like Australian toast. (thanks american dad)

 

HA!! I remember that.
