Fluffy French Toast
(4 servings)
- 3 large eggs - beaten
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 and 1/2 cups milk
-
1/2 cup shortening
-
6 slices of firm bread - cut in half diagonally
Combine eggs, flour, baking powder, sugar & salt in a shallow dish; add 1/2 cup of the milk & blend.
Pour remaining milk in a second dish.
Melt shortening in heavy skillet or electric skillet. Dip bread, one piece at a time, in the milk, then batter. Turn to coat both sides.
Fry till golden brown on one side. Flip, cover skillet so batter will puff & cook until second side is golden.
Makes 4 servings of 3 pieces.
This is my grandma's recipe - many people over the years have enjoyed this french toast. I find that I can get a make a few more pieces than the recipe calls for because there is always remaining batter. Left-overs freeze well, just microwave them for a 1 minute to thaw and pop in the toaster for a bit to get crispy again.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank amydavis70 for this recipe.
