How To Make bonnie's french toast for company

    Cook's Tip: Use Texas toast for the bread in this dish, as it works the best!
  • This is the way the batter looks.  See the nutmeg sprinkled on top?

    MAKE THE DIP: Use a shallow bowl, just big enough to hold one piece of bread, for dipping. Add milk, eggs, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  • This is what the bread looks like being dipped in the milk mixture. That is cinnamon and nutmeg which tends to float some.

    MAKE THE FRENCH TOAST: Pre-heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat with just enough coconut oil to fry the French Toast. About 1 TB. While the coconut oil is melting, and the pan is heating up, sprinkle with a shaker, about 1/4 teaspoon or more of nutmeg on top of the milk mixture, and immediately drop the bread in the dip, wait a few seconds while it soaks up the liquid, then turn and dip the other side. How long it takes is subjective to your tastes. Some people like it dipped fast, just coating on both sides. We like ours with a little more time in the dip, not soggy though. Each time you dip a piece of French toast, sprinkle the dip with the nutmeg so it will adhere to the bread. Transfer each dipped piece to the skillet and brown well on both sides. When done, remove from skillet to a cutting board, and cut the slices into triangles. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and a dollop of my butter, and pure maple syrup and serve hot off the stove. Enjoy!
