Servings: 4
Calories: 308kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbs granulated sugar
- 2 Tbs all purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 slices bread cut thick
- butter for cooking
Instructions
- Mix the sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl. (note 1)
- Add the flour, salt and nutmeg and stir until incorporated.
- Whisk together eggs, milk and heavy cream until combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until no lumps are left, you might want to use a hand mixer or an immersion blender if necessary.
- Soak your each slice on both sides in the egg mixture. Don´t go too fast or the bread won't be properly soaked through.
- Cook bread on each side until golden brown (note 2)
- Serve hot with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, butter or cinnamon sugar. Feel free to combine several toppings.
Notes
- This will help to avoid that the cinnamon doesn´t get mixed in completely and sets itself apart
- Don´t bake too hot, the butter will burn outside and the bread will be uncooked inside. Just keep the heat to medium-low.
- You can use any kind of bread for this recipe, see my tips above.
- Top with whatever you like, we use butter, fruit and syrup, but I have more options above.
- This recipe can be frozen, see my tips on how to store.
- You can easily double this recipe to serve your family size or cut it back.
- There are no weird ingredients in this recipe, normal pantry staples!
- We like to use a larger griddle to make this, but a frying pan works fine as well.
