- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. If you prefer whisking by hand, start by mixing the flour and eggs together in a shallow dish, then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
- Dip bread slices into the batter, dredging them well on both sides, and place on a hot, greased griddle or skillet.
- Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
- Remove to a plate. Serve warm with syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Note
- Bread: I like to use thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It’s appealing (but not necessary) whether the bread is a few days old or slightly stale. Even try using cinnamon toast or brioche!
- Flour: My Secret Ingredient! The flour helps to make more of a “batter” for dipping the bread, which yields extra fluffy and delicious French toast.
- Milk: Any kind of milk will work (even dairy-free), but the higher the fat milk, the creamier the batter will be. Whole milk works great, and you could even add a little splash of cream if you like.
- Make Ahead Instructions: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.
- Freezing Instructions: Allow French toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave.
