To make the perfect batter, start with a large bowl. Add two eggs and one cup of milk. Whisk them together well to combine. Use a steady motion to create air bubbles. This frothiness helps the French toast rise. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and sugar if you like it sweet. Whisk again until the mixture looks smooth and airy.

Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt one tablespoon of butter in the pan. Once the butter is hot, dip each bread slice into the egg mixture. Let it soak for just a few seconds on each side. Place the soaked bread in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown.

To serve, place the French toast on a nice plate. Drizzle warm maple syrup over the top. Add fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for color. Pair with a hot cup of coffee or fresh juice. Enjoy!
