- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
For the French Toast:

Instructions
Directions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Custard MixtureIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Step 2: Heat the SkilletPlace a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
- Step 3: Dip the BreadTake one piece of butter bread and dip it into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Make sure it’s well coated but not soggy.
- Step 4: Cook the French ToastCarefully place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining pieces of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Step 5: Serve and EnjoyOnce all the French toast is cooked, serve it warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes
- For the best results, use slightly stale bread to absorb the custard better.
- If fresh, let the bread sit out for a few hours or lightly toast before dipping.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately, but you can keep it warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
