One of my favorite breakfasts is French Toast! To find out more about french toast I looked up the recipe and history of this delicious meal. Read the following to find out more....The popular history behind French toast is that it was created by medieval European cooks who needed to use every bit of food they could find to feed their families. They knew old, stale bread (French term "pain perdu" literally means lost bread) could be revived when moistened with milk and enriched with eggs. The traditional method of cookery was on a hot griddle prepped with a little fat (butter, oil). Quite like today.
Ingredients: -4 eggs
-1 teaspoon sugar, optional
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 cup milk
-10 to 12 slices white bread
-butter
-maple syrup or other syrup
Preparation:
Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate; beat lightly with a fork. Stir in sugar, salt, and milk. Over medium-low heat, heat griddle or skillet coated with a thin layer of butter or margarine.
Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate, letting slices soak up egg mixture for a few seconds, then carefully turn to coat the other side. Soak/coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at one time.

Transfer bread slices to griddle or skillet, heating slowly until bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side. Serve French toast hot with butter and syrup.

I too love French Toast. However, different from your recipe I use only one egg. I find it makes the toast much lighter. I also quickly dip the bread into the batter so that very little of the batter in obsorbed by the bread. My only problem is...I could eat an entire loaf in one sitting if the batter didn't run out.
That looks so delicious! HAving powdered sugar is one of the most tasty ways to sweeten your french toast. But fruit and fruit syrups are amazing too.
Mmmmm yeah..... French Toast is good (:
