Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons butter
  • 6 slices thick-sliced French bread
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • Pancake Syrup

Directions

  1. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl.

  2. Add the milk, vanilla, flour, and salt to the eggs. Beat the mixture with a whisk. Be sure all the flour is well combined. – I put the flour in first then the eggs beat them together then add the rest of the milk.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When the surface is hot, add about a teaspoon of butter.

  4. Dip the bread, a slice at a time, into the batter, being sure to coat each side well. Drop the bread onto the hot pan (as many as will fit at one time) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the surface is golden brown.

  5. If doing egg in the hole, brown both sides then crack the egg in the middle of the hole. Let the egg cook for 2-3 minutes then flip and let cook for 2-3 minutes.

  6. Repeat with the remaining pieces of bread.

  7. Cut each piece of toast in half diagonally. Arrange six halves of the toast on two plates by neatly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle about ½ tablespoon of powdered sugar over the tops of the toast slices on each plate. Serve with butter and syrup on the side.
