French Toast

Plus it makes the whole house smell like cinnamon in the morning!

What more could you ask for in a breakfast?

I like this recipe for french toast, it's a little different because it calls for flour, which makes it a little fluffier. Instead of using syrup, I usually use sliced bananas on top...yummy! I also usually use 100% whole wheat bread to make it a little healthier, and because of the egg batter, it doesn't have that heavy, dry texture that you sometimes get with whole wheat bread.

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 TBS sugar
• 12 slices thick bread
  

1. Measure flour into a large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk in the salt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.



2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. (I use butter flavored shortening instead of oil)



3. Soak bread slices in mixture until saturated. (Be sure to stir before you put the bread in the mixture, the cinnamon tends to clump on the top, and you don't want to use all the cinnamon on one peice.) Cook bread on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.
