Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a wide shallow dish until no streaks of egg remain.

2. 2

   Set a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat and melt a third of the butter.

3. 3

   Dip a slice of bread into the custard for about 15 seconds per side, so it soaks up the liquid without falling apart.

4. 4

   Lift the slice out and let the excess drip off for a few seconds.

5. 5

   Lay the slices in the hot pan, as many as fit without touching.

6. 6

   Cook until the underside is deep golden, 2-3 min. Flip and cook the other side the same way, until the center feels set and springy.

7. 7

   Move the finished slices to a plate and wipe the pan. Melt more butter and repeat with the remaining bread.

8. 8

   Serve hot, topped with a little extra butter and plenty of syrup.
