What is the best bread for making French toast?
To make French toast, I like a bread with a relatively dense consistency. One that will soak up the egg and milk mixture without becoming soggy or limp.
A few good bread options are challah, brioche, French bread, or as in this case, I used this delicious Sally Lunn Batter Bread.
How long should the bread be soaked in the egg mixture before frying?
I like to make sure the bread has plenty of time to soak up all the eggy goodness, so I prefer to let it sit at least 20-30 seconds (per side) in the egg and milk mixture before adding it to the hot skillet.
How do I keep cinnamon and sugar French toast warm if I'm making a large batch?
I like to keep my snickerdoodle French toast in a warm (275-degree Fahrenheit) oven, on a baking sheet fitted with a rack, while I finish frying the French toast I need.
What should the heat of the skillet be to make French toast?
Medium.
Any hotter will burn the butter (do as I say and not as I do), so try not to rush the process.
Lower and slower is always the best bet when cooking eggs (or egg battered French toast) in a skillet.
Save this for later.

Can other extract flavors be used in place of the vanilla?
Of course!
Go wild with using whatever extract flavor you like.
An almond extract comes to mind as something that would be extremely delicious, or what about a peppermint extract (use it sparingly as a little goes a long way), or even an orange or coconut extract would be lovely.
NOW we're talking!!
