Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 loaf Texas toast 24-ounce, crust trimmed off (optional)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar for sprinkling
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Whisk until well blended. Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a small bowl, mix the additional 4 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture into the custard and whisk until evenly distributed.
- Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
- Trim the crust off the Texas toast if desired. Dip each slice into the custard mixture, coating both sides evenly. Let excess custard drip off.
- Place soaked slices onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining slices.
- Transfer cooked French toast to a serving platter. Spread softened butter on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
