IHOP French Toast

French toast is such a delight. I admit, I can go a bit overboard with the syrup and butter, but that's the whole idea isn't it? It's not a salad!


This recipe came from the Mother Bliss blog. It's pretty much your standard French toast, with the addition of the vanilla, which is a really tasty twist.

Of course, I made my French toast with Texas toast, but you can use any thick-sliced bread you have on hand.
