Instructions
- The Secret Ingredient: Flour! – Adding flour to the batter might sound unusual, but it’s the ultimate trick for that custardy texture and crispy crust. Here’s why: It thickens the batter so it clings to the bread instead of dripping off. It stabilizes the egg mixture, preventing a soggy result. It helps create that perfect crust. Pro tip: Whisk the flour in slowly or use an immersion blender for a lump-free batter.
- How to Cook French Toast Like a Pro – Heat a buttered griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Soak each slice of bread for 30-60 seconds, ensuring it’s saturated but not falling apart. Let excess batter drip off. Place on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Aim for bread slices about 1 inch thick for optimal texture.
- Experiment with different bread types and toppings to find your favorite combination.
