IHOP French Toast
Description
The recipe for IHOP French Toast uses Texas toast or other very thick bread slices to hold the custard well. The custard combines eggs and milk beaten together, then flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt are added and strained to ensure a smooth mixture. The bread soaks in this custard until well coated on both sides, which enhances tenderness and flavor.
Cooking takes place on a 350°F griddle brushed with melted butter, giving each side a golden color and slight crispness while maintaining a soft interior. The sprinkle of powdered sugar adds a light sweetness contrasted by the richness of butter and vanilla. Serving with butter and maple syrup complements the gentle flavor and texture, making it a comforting breakfast or brunch option.

- 3 egg
- ¾ cup milk

- Strain the custard mixture using a wire mesh strainer into another bowl.
- Heat a skillet or a griddle to about 350°F. Brush the skillet/griddle with butter.
- Place the bread into the custard mixture, flip it over so that both sides are coated, and then place the bread onto the hot cooking surface. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. The bread should be golden in color when you remove it from the skillet.
