French Toast for Family

1. 1

   Cut the french bread about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick.

2. 2

   Whisk together the 1 cup of milk, the 4 large eggs, the 1 Tbsp of sugar, the 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of salt.

3. 3

   If desired, can add about 1 tbsp of orange zest for some extra zing.

4. 4

   Place the bread in the mixture, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Depending on how old the bread is, it may need to soak in the mixture a little more.

6. 6

   When it's done soaking, check to make sure it is heavy but not falling apart.

7. 7

   Heat up a frying pan.

8. 8

   When the frying pan is hot, then add about 1/4 cup of canola oil or any vegetable oil.

9. 9

   Fry the slices about 1-2 minutes or so on each side, until it's brown, maybe a little longer if you like it crispier.

10. 10

    (I like mine burnt).

11. 11

    When the toast is done, put on a plate that has paper towels to sop up the oil.

12. 12

    Sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon and eat with maple syrup or whatever syrup is on hand.
