I gave this recipe 5 stars. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm just countering the Internet"nut" who rated it based on a similar recipe her niece tried in a cooking class. I tried something close once, and it was great! Yes, my rating is as silly as hers, but seriously? Try it before you rate it! (and, yes, I realize the hypocrisy).

Great recipe, but scaling is painful. I tried to make it for 2 people (4 slices), and it scaled down to "3 and 5/8" slices, and still there was not enough mixture for the last slice. Why make a default recipe for 20 slices? It's too much for majority of people.

I gave this recipe 3 stars. I'm not rating this for myself as I haven't tried this recipe but my niece made a recpe very close to this in her cooking class. She didn't like it much. I plan to try the recipe and see why. The measurements she got is slightly different. It calls for just the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 c milk, 1 pinch salt, 3 eggs, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbl white sugar, 12 slices thick bread and 1 c 10x confectionary sugar-for dusting. The directions are exactly the same for sprinkling toast with 10x confectionary sugar or maple syrup. Thanks for posting hope to try this again! Christine (internetnut)

Ooolala! This recipe made very good French toast; I made a very small batch and ate it with sliced strawberries and sugar. My only beef is the amount of cinnamon; I personally think a whole teaspoon is a little bit much. Other than that, wonderful! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

This resembles what we call "Fresno French Toast" and we've enjoyed that for years. Flour, cinnamon, and vanilla in the batter takes the old standby off the beaten path. Delicious and easy enough to do all the time. Two small cautions: Be sure to follow step 1 or the flour will clump, and don't get the grill too hot or the toast will get too dark before cooking through. Made for PAC, April 2008.
