Ingredients
½ cup milk (your preferred type)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 slices thick-cut bread
2 tablespoons butter or cooking spray (for grilling)
½ cup sliced strawberries (for serving)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. -
Dip the Bread
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is well-coated but not overly saturated. -
Cook the Toast
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter or spray with cooking spray. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. -
Serve
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Bread Selection: Using thick-cut or slightly stale bread helps prevent sogginess and ensures a better texture.
-
Milk Options: Any type of milk can be used, including plant-based alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk.
-
Serving Suggestions: For added flavor, consider topping with powdered sugar, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
