Step 2
MAKE THE BATTER
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt until combined. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs.
Step 3
ADD MILK
Slowly pour 2/3 cup whole milk into the dry ingredients while whisking.
Step 4
ADD EGGS AND VANILLA
Stir in the eggs and vanilla. If batter turns lumpy, use a hand mixer, food processor or blender until the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
DIP BREAD IN BATTER
Heat a large skillet to medium or medium-high heat. If you’re using a griddle pan, set it to 325°F to 350°F. Place oil in a skillet or pan, and spread it around to coat the pan. Dip each slice of bread into the batter for 30 seconds on each side.
Step 6
COOK THE BREAD
Let some of the batter drip off a slice, then place it on the skillet or griddle. Cook slice for about 1- 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
