Ingredients:

• 4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)

• 3 large eggs (room temperature)

• Pinch of salt

• 2 Tbs (30g) granulated sugar

• 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

• 3 Tbs (25g) all-purpose flour

• 2/3 cup (150 ml) whole milk

• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) ground cinnamon (optional)

• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter (for cooking)

• Canadian maple syrup or your choice of toppings (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar until well combined and frothy.

   • Add the vanilla, then gradually whisk in the flour and milk to the desired consistency. Let stand for a couple of minutes.

   • Add the cinnamon (optional) and whisk to combine..

2. Soak the Bread:

   • Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat.

   • Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring it absorbs enough of the mixture.

3. Cook the French Toast:

   • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet or griddle.

   • Once hot, add two soaked slices of bread and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

   • Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.

4. Serve:

   • Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with Canadian maple syrup or topped with your favorite fruits and whipped cream.
