Grandma’s Old-Fashioned French Toast

January 16, 2017
2 min. read

French toast is one of those quintessential comfort foods that always reminds us of our childhood. Perhaps our mom or grandmom used to make it for us when we were little…Whatever the memory, there’s something about the warm, fragrant smell of cinnamon, vanilla, and eggy, buttery bread that never fails to touch our hearts.

During busy seasons and dreary winter days, we long for this classic dish to help lift our spirits and take us back to a simpler time. Therein lies the key ingredient: simplicity. Days at grandma’s house were slower, longer, easier. And her meals were the same way.

She used fresh, wholesome ingredients—real butter, real milk, and fresh eggs.
