Yesterday I fixed bacon and French toast for breakfast, as requested by Eler Beth and B (who had spent the night Saturday). Eler Beth has been learning to make it by herself, and she was giving B a running commentary as we mixed all the ingredients.
EB "Now we're just adding a dash of cinnamon."
B "I don't think I like cinnamon in mine."
EB "Well, it's just a dash. And we put in just a dash of nutmeg, too."
B "Nutmeg!"
EB "Yes, and my Mom usually puts in some vanilla, but we're out of vanilla."
B "My mommy doesn't put all of that in her French toast."
ME "Oh? Does she just add sugar?"
B "Sugar? No."
ME "Really??" I was surprised. "Just milk and egg?"
B "No, she just uses egg. She beats an egg and dips the bread in, then fries it."
EB "That's not French toast."
B "My mommy says it is."
EB "Well, this is how we make it. When you get it at a restaurant, it's probably like this."
B "No, at a restaurant it has whipped cream and a cherry on top!"
EB "Well, just try this, and see if you like it."
She did, and she did!
(I must remember to put vanilla on my grocery list.)

I don't like french toast but did make it for my husband and girls. I made it with just milk and eggs and then they put syrup on it. I love cinnamon toast and haven't made it in such a long time. Its good in the winter with coffee. Humm Paula
I learned how to make french toast in 7th grade home ec.
I love it, but seldom make.
LOL... so cute...
be well,

When I make it with milk and eggs I like to eat it with HP Sauce or Tomato Ketchup. How clever are they to cook their own french toast? Well done Eler Beth! Jeanie
LOL....! :o)

Ok, after that conversation although it's close to 3 in the afternoon, I'm wanting french toast. I usually put vanilla in mine too. Now Paula has me thinking of cinamon toast, lol good thing I'm not dieting. (Hugs)Indigo
Your french toast sounds like the french toast my mom made for us when I was a kid. It was always a real treat!

I make french toast the way you do! I love it that way and would never go back to just milk and eggs. Of course B loved it!
