Ingredients:
1 large egg |
1 cup milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon table salt |
4 - 8 slices day-old firm european-style bread (3/4-inch-thick) such as french or italian |
unsalted butter to grease skillet (about 1 tablespoon per batch) |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg lightly in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in milk and vanilla, and finally sugar, flour, and salt, continuing to whisk until smooth. Soak bread without oversaturating, about 30 seconds per side. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.
2. 2. Swirl 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet. Transfer prepared bread to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on first side and 1 minute 15 seconds on the second. Serve immediately. Continue, adding 1 tablespoon butter to skillet for each new batch.
