Great French Toast Recipe

Panetone works really well too.

I've never heard of French toast NOT being soaked...isn't that the norm? In my family, it's called pan-pan du, which is Cajun for pain perdu, which is French for lost bread. We always soak stale bread in egg-milk-vanilla-cinnamon mixture, and then cook it in the skillet.

Since I make my own bread, I often have some that goes stale before I can eat it. It goes stale in about two days. I just keep a supply of stale bread in the freezer for my pan-pan du.

Oh, and if you add a splash of whiskey, it's really wonderful.

Tulip, I love your cooking.

I always use a splash of vanilla.

Well....I made french toast for dinner last night. It's been awhile since I've had it...I almost forgot how GOOD it is. I used 2 eggs, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, along with cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract. Add to that, a side of turkey sausage links...and I was in comfort-food heaven.
