Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. If your Texas toast is not pre-sliced, cut it into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Place the slices of Texas toast in the custard mixture, ensuring that each slice is coated well. Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes.
  4. In a skillet or griddle, melt the softened butter over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the soaked bread.
  5. Carefully place the soaked Texas toast slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  6. Once cooked, sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the French toast while it’s still warm.
  7. Transfer the Texas Toast French Toast to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer custard, add a splash of heavy cream.
  • Experiment with flavors by adding citrus zest or a splash of liqueur.
  • Longer soaking time enhances texture; don't rush it.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or halved.
