Fluffy french toast is lightly crisp and golden on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.
The boys are off today so we are having a somewhat lazy morning. When the kids have off from school, I like to do a little more in the morning for breakfast. We have time for more than just cereal or frozen waffles. No-school mornings mean I make some blueberry bread or even donuts. But this morning, my boys had another request: french toast.

The Secret to Fluffy French Toast
French toast is one of the easiest morning meals to make but I wanted to try a little something different today. I always run into the problem of my bread getting too soggy and breaking so I knew I must be doing something wrong.
The key to making sure your French Toast doesn’t get soggy is making a batter. Sure it’s easy to crack some eggs and some milk and be done with it, but I was getting frustrated with that method. This time, I tried making more of a batter to coat the bread so it wouldn’t break apart.
And it worked! Of course, you also want to make sure you are using thick slices of bread like Texas Toast. My store was out yesterday so I grabbed a Country White bread that was thicker than regular bread and more dense.
It was a hit! Ethan declared it was the best French Toast Ever! Even better than the “french toast” place. I wouldn’t go that far with it but it was pretty good!
The batter will be enough to coat an entire loaf of bread. French toast is great for leftovers and even packing for school lunches with the help of a Thermos.
