Pops’ French Toast

Pop's French Toast

Also known as Pain Perdu.

Pat showed me how to make French Toast when we were first married.  I always woke up first and served her coffee in bed.  Meanwhile I made the kids French Toast MY way with lots of sugar and eggs and lumps of butter.  My grandchildren now expect it when they spend the night.

by Kent Savoie

1 egg per person
about 1 tsp sugar per person
dash of vanilla (1 tsp per 6 eggs)
cinnamon
salt
milk
4 slices of bread per person, cut in half

In flat bottom bowl combine all ingredients but milk and bread.  Add milk until mixture is light yellow, about 1/4 cup per person.  Dip bread on both sides and place on a buttered griddle set on 350.  Flip when lightly browned.  Serve with Steens Syrup or melted butter and sugar — my favorite.

*Elizabeth uses Splenda because it dissolves quickly.
