Ingredients

• 6 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread into the buttermilk mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Let the excess drip off before placing the bread in the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.

Step 6

Serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup, if desired.
