French Toast 

Try different types of breads. The flour or the increased eggs in the batter keeps it from making your bread soggy! Different breads will have different soaking times. The easy option reminds me of my Grandma dipping my french toast especially for me!

*The butter and flour make a superb crispy exterior. BUT this batter is easier to use if you mix it up 30 minutes or more to allow the flour to hydrate. Otherwise the flour and butter sit on the top of the batter and are used all up in the first few slices. Blend or mix occasionally while it rests.
