English Muffin French Toast

English muffins are great for a lot of things, from breakfast to lunch to dinner. I love them as hamburger buns, topping the burger with a great fried egg. And now, I love making English muffin French toast.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 English muffins split
canola oil
confectioners sugar
maple syrup warmed

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract.
Pour into a pie dish or 9" x 9" pan.
Heat 1/4" of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Test by dropping a small amount of the batter into the oil. If it bubbles, it's ready.
Place 3-4 of the muffin halves into the mixture. Let soak for 10-15 seconds.
Flip and let soak another 10-15 seconds. Repeat, soaking on each side.
Add muffin halves to the skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds until they start to brown.
Flip and cook on other side until nice and golden brown.
Pick up halves with tongs and shake gently to remove any excess oil.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Cook remaining muffin halves.
Serve dusted with the powdered sugar and drizzled with warm syrup.

Notes

Add some toasted pecans for extra yumminess!
