How do you make French Toast like they do at Bickfords or Ihop??

Question

And what kind of bread do they use. It's nice and thick, and I can never find that kind of bread in the grocery stores.

Answer 1

Here you go. Enjoy!!!!

IHOP French Toast

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon butter
6 slices thick sliced french bread
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
On the side: Butter and pancake syrup.

Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl. Add the milk, flour, and salt to the eggs. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer. Be sure all the flour is well combined. Heat a laarge skillet over medium heat. When the surface is hot, add about 1 teaspoon butter.

Dip the bread one slice at a time into the batter, be sure to coat each side well. Drop the bread into the hot pan, as many as will fit comfortably at one time. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until surface is golden.

Cut slices diagonally in two, arrange halves on plate, overlapping. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve butter and syrup on the side.

Answer 2

Not too sure about Bickfords or IHOP, but a variation that I had recently was really good. They used cinnamon raisin bread.

Take a couple of eggs and whip them up with a fork, add a splash of milk and a dash of cinnamon. Heat pan on stove with butter. When the butter is melted, dip bread into egg mixture and flip to coat both sides. Fry in pan until both sides are golden brown.

Answer 3

CREPES. I went to IHOP final month, and that i could no longer settle on between the pancakes or crepes... so I have been given the two! The pancakes are super, dont' get me incorrect... however the crepes are scrumptious. you additionally could make pancakes at homestead, good crepes are harder to return via! I have been given certainly one of those meal issues that got here with pancakes, eggs, and sausage and William Maxwell Aitken. i do no longer consume meat, so I asked to alter the beef for the strawberry banana crepes and that they enable me.

Answer 4

Use thick slices of hallah bread and let it soak and do not cook till it's as firm as regular french toast

Answer 5

It is called Texas Toast. It is thickly sliced and I think Merita makes it but i'm not 100% sure. You can also make garlic bread with it.
