This buttermilk French toast recipe is perfect for those weekend mornings when you want to cook up something special.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
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.
2. Soak the Bread:
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.
3. Prepare the Cooking Surface:
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.
4. Cook the French Toast:
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.
5. Serve:
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.
6. Enjoy!
Serve your Buttermilk French Toast warm and enjoy a delightful breakfast or brunch treat!

Buttermilk french toast with maple syrup FAQ:

What is the ideal cooking time for French toast?

Cook each slice of French toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the time slightly based on your stovetop's heat.

How do I know when the French toast is done cooking?

The French toast is done when it's golden brown on both sides and feels firm to the touch. The egg mixture should be fully cooked but not dry.

Can I store leftovers and reheat them later?

Yes, you can store leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in a toaster until warmed through.

What can I substitute for dried milk in this recipe?

You can substitute dried milk with an equal amount of liquid milk. However, reduce the total amount of other liquid ingredients slightly to maintain the recipe's consistency.

What type of bread works best for French toast?

Baguette is used in this recipe, but you can also use brioche, challah, or any thick-sliced bread. Avoid using very soft bread as it may become too soggy.

Tips:

- Use a day-old baguette for the best texture; fresh bread might become too soggy.

- Let the bread slices soak in the buttermilk mixture for at least 5 minutes to absorb the flavors thoroughly.

- Cook the French toast on medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.

- Be sure to preheat your skillet or griddle before adding butter for perfect golden-brown slices.

- Serve with fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
