Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, 1.5 cups dried milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 3 tbsp sugar until well combined. This will create a rich, flavorful custard base for your French toast.
Slice your baguette into 12 even pieces, approximately 1-inch thick each. Submerge each bread slice in the egg mixture, allowing them to soak thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes per side. Ensure the bread absorbs a good amount of the mixture without becoming too soggy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once heated, add 1.5 tbsp of the butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, place soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use additional butter as needed for each new batch to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to serving plates. Drizzle each serving generously with the 1/2 cup of maple syrup. For an extra touch, you can dust with powdered sugar, add fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
