pain doré

That's french toast in...well, French of course! French toast is a classic, it's easy to make, and it's perfect for a lazy Sunday morning (morning being 12:30 in the afternoon).

It's hard to go wrong with french toast but there are two things that I think are essential to get the most out of your toast.
1) Challah makes the best french toast, hands down.
2) Real maple syrup is 100x better than that fake stuff (sorry Auntie J.)

All that you need is:

• sliced raisin challah (or plain, or chocolate chip, or other bread if you must)
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  
• a pinch of salt

1. Beat eggs in a large bowl
2. Add milk to the eggs, mix together
   
3. Add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to the mixture
4. Butter a large pan and set stove to high
5. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, covering both sides, and place in pan
6. Once pan is heated (you should hear the sizzling) lower the heat to medium-low
7. Cook toast until browned on both sides
8. As you take the toast off the pan, place the slices on plate in oven or somewhere it will stay warm until ready to be served
9. When you've toasted your heart content, top with some fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or just some pure maple syrup, mmm...

you know the deal, eat two and call me in the a.m.
