Instructions
- 1
In a wide, shallow dish, whisk the eggs until completely smooth and uniform, then whisk in the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
- 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling to coat as it foams.
- 3
Working with 2 slices at a time, dip each slice into the custard for about 20 seconds per side so it absorbs liquid but does not fall apart, letting excess drip off.
- 4
Lay the soaked slices in the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is deep golden brown and the edges look set.
- 5
Flip and cook the second side another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and the center no longer feels wet or jiggly when pressed.
- 6
Wipe the pan and add fresh butter between batches to keep the surface from scorching, transferring finished slices to a 200°F oven to stay warm.
- 7
Dust with powdered sugar and serve hot with plenty of maple syrup.
