I tried to make homemade French toast.

[Jamastiene]

It didn't turn out so well at all. So, I added about a cup of molasses to it to try to drench that hideous "somebody fucking up this meal from the get go" flavor.

It didn't work.

I'm foaming at the mouth now. x(

You can't get rabies from French toast, can you?

1. Step 1. Just because it's called French Toast...you don't put your tongue in the toaster.

:hide:

[Jamastiene]

2. OMG, so THAT is what I did wrong.

:silly:

[RedCloud]

3. Simple. Move your home to France!

I hope that works. I am learning German so I can speak to the German Shepherd next door.

4. No offense, but how does one screw up French toast?

:shrug:

Milk, eggs, some vanilla extract and dunk the bread?

[Phillycat]

6. First thing I thought too - it couldn't be easier.

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

20. Vanilla extract?

The hell you say! x(

[Darth_Kitten]

23. Of course...........

can't be French Toast without vanilla extract.

5. Okay that is very funny

I had not heard that joke before

:rofl:

[bridgit]

7. French toast? You can't make French toast?

Maybe your bread is sub-standard

[madinmaryland]

8. Did you turn the skillet on??

:hide:

9. Milk, eggs, nutmeg, & bread.

Use an abundant amount of oil in the skillet and turn the temperature high enough to make the oil bubble when you put it in. Making sure to press down on the center of the bread while it's in the pan gets it toasted more evenly.


I showed my girlfriend how to make it. Now she is always asking me to make her french toast. That reminds me... I'm suppose to make that for her on Valentine's Day.

17. I add cinnamon to mine.

And I like to cook it in butter, 'cuz butter makes everything taste good. :9

10. Damn, you're in NC?!

It would be an awfully long way for you to come for Sunday brunch. I make killer French toast! We even make our own maple syrup to pour on top!



Here, drool over this photo my son took of my French toasties.




I'm sorry yours didn't turn out. :pals:

[sasquatch]

11. You're not allowed in my kitchen, EVER

x(

[AwakeAtLast]

12. Damn, now I want French Toast

Just not yours. ;)

:pals:

[JenaLaw]

13. agreed! nm

[THUNDER HANDS]

14. what type of bread were you using?

maybe that was the problem.

I like to use that jewish hollah bread, or whatever it's called, the thick one.

[XemaSab]

21. Holla at yo bread!

:hide:

[fortyfeetunder]

15. You added what?

I cannot believe you added molasses....I love molasses but that won't save your French Toast

Here are some troubleshooting tips

Stale dry bread soaks up the juice. Fresh bread comes apart.
Don't over mix the juice.
If you can, dip the bread in the juice just enough to get it wet but not soggy.

If all else fails, layer it in a pan with some sausage or with some berries, bake in an oven and call it strata!

:hi:

16. WTF is wrong with you? It's called "freedom toast"! Aren't you patriotic?

:)

18. What is it with people in North Carolina who can't make french toast?

See post #9... My girlfriend is from North Carolina, and she had problems making french toast.

[SKKY]

19. Ok, I suck in the kitchen. No, I don't suck, I suckity suck suck...

...but even I can make French Toast.

[flvegan]

22. How intercontinental of you.

[libodem]

24. Sounds like the loungers have the basic recipe down

and even having the temperature up pretty high, which is important. This is how I do it and I've always had pretty good success. I crack an egg for each person who is having, French toast. Then I cover said eggs with enough milk to cover them. I usually give a shake of salt and a short shake of pepper. I like to use a bit of sugar, I pour a little in my palm, I think around a teaspoon. I pour some vanilla in the cap and toss that in. I think it must be between a 1/2 teaspoon and a teaspoon. I want a little flavor not for it to taste like vanilla. Just beat it enough to break the eggs and blend it, don't blend it into foam. I love my grill for pancakes or French toast. It provides a large flat surface with even heat and I turn it up to 400 to to start. I work the heat down to 350 and that seems to brown and cook through without burning. Only turn once. Good Luck. Oh, yeah, I think they were right up thread: move to France.
