Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (just about at room temp, if you use it cold the butter will get hard and in small chunks)
- 4 egg yolks (from large eggs)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil
- 1 pound bread loaf, raisin (one-day-old or two-day old, cut into 1-inch-thick slices)
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
- Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat your oven to 200°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place a baking sheet in the oven.
-
Step 2: Place the milk, egg yolks, egg, butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl, and whisk until the eggs are broken up and evenly incorporated and the sugar has dissolved.
-
Step 3: Coat the bottom of a large cast-iron or nonstick frying pan with a thin layer of oil and heat over medium heat until shimmering.
-
Step 4: Place a few slices of bread in the milk mixture and let sit for 15 seconds. Flip the slices over and let sit for another 15 seconds. Pick up the bread, let the excess milk mixture drip off, and lay the slices in a single layer in the pan. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Step 5: Flip and cook the second side until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the heated baking sheet to keep warm.
-
Step 6: Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
-
Step 7: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
