serves 6-8

Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Batter:

• 3/4 cups milk

• 3 large eggs

• 1/4 cup all purpose flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 french baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

Directions

1. To Make the cinnamon sugar, combine cinnamon and sugar together; set aside.

2. To Make the batter, use a blender or food processor to combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, eggs, milk, and vanilla; blend thoroughly (the dry ingredients tend to clump together if you mix them by hand).

3. Pour the batter into a shallow dish.

4. Soak bread in batter for about 30 seconds per side (less time for very soft breads).

5. Preheat cast iron skillet over medium heat.

6. Spray with nonstick spray and add a tablespoon of butter.

7. Cook bread on each side until brown; repeating batches until all the batter is used up.

8. Serve with cinnamon sugar, butter, and pure maple syrup (if desired).
