Ingredients

2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices Texas Toast bread

Instructions

Heat griddle to 350° or you can cook the French toast in a skillet pan over medium-high heat.
Spray the griddle or skillet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl add the milk and flour. Stir with a whisk until combined well.
Add in the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir well with a whisk until combined. Pour into a shallow dish like a pie plate or something similar.
^{* The ground cinnamon tends to chunk up in the wet batter, that's fine, just mix it as well as you can. The cinnamon might not be fully incorporated and smooth in the mixture but that's ok.}
Working one piece of bread a time, fully submerge the bread in the wet batter, making sure that all the bread is covered in the batter.
Place on the hot griddle or skillet pan and cook one each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
^{* If wanted, spread one side with butter after you flip it.}
Serve with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Use a Griddle : It's worth it to buy a griddle, especially if you make pancakes and French toast a lot. You can cook all 8 pieces at the same time on the griddle.

Blender : If wanted, add all the ingredients (not the bread!) into a blender and blend until smooth and combined.

Sugar : The sugar can be reduced depending on preference. We love the recipe as is, but it can be adapted to what you prefer.

Texas Toast : Please don't try and use regular sandwich bread or any other bread. You will find Texas Toast by the other bread and it's specifically labeled as 'texas toast' on the package.
