One of the challenges when you start baking your own bread is that you sometimes end up with bread that isn’t going to get eaten and is about to go completely stale. This is where this french toast recipe comes in. All you need is eggs, milk and your favorite flavorings.
Growing up, my mother would always add cinnamon to the french toast mixture. In Kelly’s house, her mother always added vanilla extract. In our house, we use both. It creates a nice subtle vanilla flavor with spicy hints of cinnamon.
