Pillsbury Kitchens' Family Cookbook Modified by Jane Starr






List of Ingredients



• 4 large eggs
  
• 1 cup skim milk
  
• 2 tablespoons sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon - optional
  
• 2 tablespoon butter or margarine
  
• 16 slices white bread, low calorie
  






Instructions



1. Lightly beat eggs in shallow square pan or bowl. Stir in all ingredients except bread and butter.
   
   
2. Preheat griddle on medium heat (or to 340ºF). When a drop of water bounces around on it, it's hot enough to add the butter.
   
   
3. Dip 1 slice at a time quickly in the bater and turn over. Place on hot griddle for 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Turn slices over and cook for about 4 additional minutes, until golden brown.
   
   
4. Extra slices can be frozen for a quick weekday breakfast. Just cool completely on a cookie sheet. When cool, put cookie sheet in freezer. Once french toast is frozen, remove from cookie sheet and place in freezer weight ziploc bag.
   
   
5. To serve from frozen:
   Place 2 slices on a microwave-safe plate. Cook on HIGH power for about 90 minutes.
   
   
6. To prepare ahead:
   Dip bread in egg mixture. Place in a 9x13 inch glass baking pan. Pour any remaining egg mixture over bread. Cover; refrigerate 8 to 12 hours. Use a pancake turner to remove bread slices to hot griddle; continue as directed.
   
   
7. For Oven French Toast:
   Melt butter in a jelly roll or broiler pan. Place egg-coated slices in butter and broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Turn and broil other side.
