French Toast Pancakes

We are a house divided, on French Toast that is. Two really like it and the other two are, meh, we will eat it if we have to. I know a large part of why we don’t like it is that I tend to use substandard bread to make the French toast. You need a good Challah Bread or thick bread to make the best French Toast but when I go to make it I usually only have store white bread to use. Makes it a soggy, limp piece of French Toast

Verdict:

This was actually a fun twist on French Toast. The pancakes actually held up well to the eggy batter and the bit of cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar made them much more flavorful than plain pancakes. All four of agreed we would make this again and again.

  8. I’m a “meh” person when it comes to French toast. I think that’s the reason why I don’t like it. I’ll keep that tip in mind regarding what type of bread to use.
