Ingredients
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 thick bread slices (day-old or leftover bread)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour into milk gradually until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well until combined.
- Preheat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each bread slice into the batter, allowing it to soak through but not become soggy.
- Place soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden.
- Serve immediately while warm for best taste.
Pro tip: For best results, use slightly stale or day-old bread so it soaks the batter without falling apart.
