Just to get this out of the way...... When called apon to make a Toast in French: https://www.fluentu.com/blog/french/cheers-in-french/
The idea for this thread came along when my Wife said to me, earlier in the day: "We will have French toast for supper". I answered "Oui"! ......So, we just finished our french toast. It called for dry bread, so she lightly toasted the bread first. It was very good!
I make French toast like that a lot, but without the milk, just dip the bread in the eggs, and often toast the bread slightly first. Much easier and better than pancakes. Usually when I'm in the mood for something sweet. I notice the syrup you buy in the store now is not as sweet, and not nearly .as sweet as homemade---from sugar or brown sugar. Sometimes I'll sprinkle artificial sweetener on top of the syrup, on top of the toast.
I had French toast Christmas Eve at a Mexican Restaurant I had never tried. My son took us. I ordered French toast from the menu which listed banana French toast or plain French toast. They served me a plain wheat bread toasted (no egg dip' merely a piece of unbuttoned toast) with syrup. Ugh.
Cowboy French Toast "Use up that old bread making Cowboy French toast. It's made the cowboy way, doing it the easiest way possible. That's the cowboy way of doing things. They have so much to do on a ranch that they have to reduce each job to the least amount of time and work to accomplish. It's like I spent a night with a rancher friend in New Mexico and when we finished dinner, I started to stack the plates to take them to the sink. He told me, "Don't stack the plates or I will have to wash both sides."
French Toast: The History of the Creamy Toast and Its 'Supposed' French Connection "According to the Apicius, a collection of recipes from the early 5th century AD, the dish we now know as the French toast existed as early as the age of the Roman Empire. In their style of French toast, called Pan Dulcis, Romans would soak bread in milk (and sometimes also egg) mixture, then fry it in oil or butter." "In the 15th century English court of Henry V, a version of the French toast called "pain perdu" or "lost bread" was the culinary rage. Then, it was called "lost" bread because the recipe called for soaking hard or stale bread in a mixture of milk and egg, then frying it. Pain perdu is what the French call French toast today." "So, if the French did not invent the modern French toast, who did? According to legend, it was an Albany, New York, innkeeper named Joseph French. He created the dish in 1724, and advertised it as "French Toast" because he was grammatically inept and forgot the apostrophe."
