French Toast Recipe with Buttermilk
Traditional french toast gets a tangy twist just by adding a little buttermilk to this classic recipe. You won’t believe the enormous flavor addition this small change can make to this popular breakfast dish. My entire family loves French toast with buttermilk, especially the kids. I know your family will love it too.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk well shaken
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp butter
- 8 slices bread cut 1-inch thick
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt. Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
- Dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides of the bread are well coated. Transfer to the hot skillet and cook over medium heat until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of bread.
- Drizzle with fresh berries, butter and syrup and serve immediately!
Notes
- Other sweetener options that can be used for egg mixture: maple syrup, agave
- Thick bread works best for french toast.
- Let bread sit in the batter for 20 seconds or so. But not too long or you’ll just have soggy french toast and eggy bread.
- Don’t let your burner get too hot or the toast will burn quickly on the outside and not enough on the inside!! Again, eggy bread.
