Tasty Tuesday: Yummy French Toast!

I like french toast. It tastes good, is filling, pretty easy to make, it uses eggs (they are abundant around here these days) and is healthy depending on what ingredients you use. I developed this french toast recipe after several tries ... so this is what WE like ... you might have to change it a little to suit your own needs.

Homemade French Toast
Have ready: one or two loaves of sliced, homemade bread.
8 eggs
1 1/2c liquid
1/4c honey
1 1/2t vanilla
1/2t maple (opt)
1/2c flour*
2t cinnamon
1t salt

- Mix wet and dry ingredients separately and then whisk together until well combined. If the honey is stiff, it might be easier to gently warm it first.
- Pre-heat a griddle or skillet and grease it. Keep in mind that a griddle that is too hot will burn the outside and leave the inside soggy, so be careful not to have it too hot.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and fry on the greased griddle/skillet.
- Turn when golden brown (or to your liking) and cook the other side.  
- Be sure to add more grease as needed!
- Store cooked french toast in a dish or pan covered with a towel to keep it warm.
- Serve with your favourite toppings ... butter, fruit, nuts, nut butters, coconut shreds, syrup, molasses, applesauce, or whatever.

*Adding flour to the batter keeps the cinnamon from separating to the top of the mixture. This was a 'culinary secret' (not really) I did not figure out until later on in my cooking adventures.
