Step 1

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until well-combined.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. If it starts to smoke, reduce the heat further.

Step 3

Dip the bread slices into the custard for 30 seconds on each side. Let the excess custard drip off the bowl.

Step 4

Place the bread in the skillet. Cook each side for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Grease the pan with more butter if needed.

Step 5

Dust French toast with powdered sugar and top with butter and syrup. Serve and enjoy!
