French toast is a dish of bread soaked in eggs then fried, a weekend staple in many canadian families. As a kid, I knew if the weekend started with French Toast then it was destined to be a great weekend.
Note: older bread will less likely produce soggy French Bread, as well the longer you soak the bread the more egg/milk mixture get to the middle producing a softer center.

Instructions
- Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Its ok if there a some small clumps.
- Heat a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium/low heat. When the pan is hot, spray a light coating of Pam and add 1 tablespoon of butter. If butter smokes, your pan is too hot, turn down the heat.
- Drop each bread slice into the batter for about 2 seconds per side (the longer you soak the bread the "sogier" the center will be, also need to add a little bit more cooking time). Let some of the batter drip off then drop the bread into the buttered pan. Note: tap down lightly on the bread to push it against the pan, you will have more consistent cooking.
- Cook each battered bread slice for about 2 minutes per side (sprinkle some cinnamon while frying) or until golden brown. Add more butter to the pan as needed to cook all the french toast.
- Once Cook, place in oven set at 175F until everything is ready to serve.
- Clean off burnt butter off pan before cooking next pieces, re-apply "Pam" and butter; cook remaining French Toast.
- Serve three slices of french toast per plate. Dust each serving with a little powdered sugar (tap it through a strainer), with some maple syrup on the side, or Strawberry/Apple sauce on top.
