Making French Toast Simple

Food Storage French Toast 

by Mark Fitzgerald

This recipe is a weekend family favorite.  It is a way to have french toast without having to use a dozen or more eggs and still feed the family.  The key is to make a batter using flour and powered milk.  The recipe uses frozen bread to allow it to soak in the batter without being over saturated.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup powdered milk
• 1/8 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 loaf of frozen sandwich bread
• 3 tablespoons of shortening

Directions

Place all of the dry ingredients into a flat bottom mixing bowl.  I use a Corningware dish.  Mix with the eggs and form a paste.  After all of the dry ingredients are mixed in, add in the water and vanilla.

Preheat an electric griddle to 325 degrees.  Once heated add 1 tablespoon of shortening to the griddle and spread around.  Dip a piece of frozen bread into the batter, pull it out and let it drip off.  Add it to the griddle.  Repeat.

Cook for about 2 minutes on one side.  When browned and crisp, turn and cook for another minute on the other side.
