Four slices of buttermilk french toast with butter and maple syrup. - 1

Buttermilk French Toast

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 (3/4-inch) slices hearty French bread, or brioche

Instructions

  • In a shallow dish whisk together buttermilk, eggs, sugar and vanilla until well blended (it may seem to curdle at first, keep whisking until smooth).
  • Heat non-stick griddle or cast iron griddle over medium-low heat or heat an electric griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Working with one slice of bread at a time dip in buttermilk mixture for about 20 seconds per side (or until just soaked, each loaf of bread will vary).
  • Butter griddle in the spot you’ll add the slice then transfer the buttermilk mixture coated bread slice to griddle. Cook until golden brown on bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes, turn (can butter griddle again when lifting), and cook until golden brown on opposite side and cooked through to center, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. If needed reduce burner temperature if slices are browning too quickly.
  • Slices can be kept warm in a 200 degree oven as you finish remainder. Optionally serve with butter and maple syrup, blueberry syrup , buttermilk syrup , or strawberry syrup and whipped cream.
