Fluffy French Toast

We are a house divided. Half of us like pancakes, half of us like french toast. ALL of us like this happy hybrid of the two. How about this weekend, you whip up a batch of these yummies. Don't worry, they go together faster than making pancakes from a mix. While you are at it, set up a little topping bar and watch the kiddos enjoy not only the taste, but the look of their works of art. If you need some inspiration, here are our favorites:

Hubby Love - Butter and Maple Syrup (he is a traditional one)

Kiddo A - Peaches and bites of breakfast sausage

Kiddo B - Peanut Butter and Bananas

Kiddo C - Bananas and Chocolate Chips, aka - Funky Monkey, as pictures above

Kiddo D - Blueberry Syrup and LOTS of butter

Siggy Mama - Strawberries, Whipped Cream

Moving on to the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 -2 TBSP vegetable oil
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp Maple flavoring, optional. If you do not use this, add an extra 1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract.
• 10-12 pieces of bread, your choice

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush on just enough vegetable oil to coat entire skillet. Whisk together all dry ingredients, in a separate bowl mix together all wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Pour batter into an 8x8 square baking dish and dip single pieces of bread into batter, flipping to coat both sides. Place immediately on hot skillet. Flip when browned and brown other side. Serve immediately...ENJOY!
