Recipe#8 - Clint's Famous French Toast

French Toast as simple as it is and the key word is keep it simple - Is that is it actually an art form.

The Recipe I will entail is one I came up with over the years because of my love of "French Toast".

Below is the my secrets and then ingredients:

SECRET TO GOOD MOIST FRENCH TOAST:

To me I love buttery MOIST French Toast - The are 3 key steps that must never be missed.

1) Batter - When you mix your eggs and sour cream it needs to take on the look of watery cake batter. You need to whip and do it hard and fast to incorporate as much air as you can into the egg dip. This will make the F.Toast fluffy.

2) Dipping - The number of times of dipping or as I do FLIPPING. Flipping one side to the next counting to 8 (MIN) to 10 depending if the bread feels like its just about to fall apart. BREAD - WHITE or Texas Toast - with texas toast 10 (MIN).

3) Cooking - Cook it slowly dont turn up the stove and make the pan too hot.
IMPORTANT: If your butter is sizzling rapidly in the pan you have it way to hot. I cook it low to medium - the butter sizzles for just a sec and stops - the perfect temperature. Cooking it slow keeps it from drying out and keeps it moist.

RECIPE:

Serving Size: 4 Pieces of French Toast - Increase amount of batter accordingly.

3 Eggs - (Brown Eggs Preferred)
1 Large Tablespoon of Sour Cream
1 Teaspoon of Sugar (optional)

Garnishes:: Strawberry, Blue Berries, Kiwi

Prepare your batter while heating you skillet on low heat. After whipping your batter to the point that hardly no lumps are left in the batter and it has taken on a watery cake batter consistence - Then start buttering your skillet extremely generously - when butter is slightly sizzling and/ or bubbling a bit - ADD your correctly numbered dipped F.Toast to your skillet.

After few minutes till you learn how long it takes - Check to see if it has taken on a semi Brown / Yellow appearance.. Don't over cook it or it wont come out moist.. When you have reach the point of flipping - Flip then butter the F.Toast. Cook the other side the same way and when ready to remove then butter the other side.
