Buttermilk French Toast
February 5, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under bread
One of the things I love the most about the weekend (aside from sleeping in, of course) is that I have time to be leisurely in the morning and make more involved breakfasts. Instead of grabbing the usual Special K bar as I run out the door on weekdays, I can make pancakes, muffins, omelets (or “fancy scrambled eggs,” if the eggs don’t make the flip!), quiches…the list goes on. This past weekend I was craving French toast. I make mine with buttermilk – like buttermilk biscuits, it just seems right. And while French toast is best made with day-old French or Italian bread, you can make it with whatever you have on hand. I used slices of a regular sandwich loaf I needed to finish up before it went bad. You can top your French toast with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or anything your heart desires. I’m a maple syrup girl, myself!
Hope you all have a great Super Bowl weekend…even if you’re not into football, I hope you enjoy all the delicious food!
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cardamom
- 8 slices bread
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Pour in the buttermilk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cardamom, and stir.
Pour into a shallow pan, and coat each slice of bread in the buttermilk mixture.
Cook over medium heat until lightly browned.
Serve with your topping(s) of choice!

Looks good! I love weekend relaxed breakfasts too. I’ve never used buttermilk in the liquids, but I love using yogurt, especially strawberry flavored. It gives the toast a cheesecake vibe. Yummy. Now I just have to figure out how to yank Husband outta bed before lunchtime. Thanks for sharing.

I’m more of a fruit/yogurt or cereal for breakfast type of girl…but you’re right! The weekends are a time to splurge and these look delish.

Oh how I wish I had some nice, warm, buttermilk French toast waiting for me in the kitchen right now… I like to make mine with cinnamon swirl bread

I usually make my French Toast with just regular milk but buttermilk sounds like a great change up! I like to top mine with just Maple Syrup but my mom like it with some whip cream and a sprinkle of toasted nuts on top.

Never tried buttermilk in my french toast…I’ll definitely try that!
Also, on french toast I am a butter and powdered sugar girl!

I’ve never done French toast but I have buttermilk in the fridge right now so might do it for breakfast tomorrow.

French toast is without a doubt my all time favorite breakfast! I love making it with homemade multigrain bread!

Oh the reason I love you is you make stuff I dig! Yum! I wish I had this right now! I just posted a syrup that is screaming to be poured all over this!

Just made this recipe, and it was fantastic! Didn’t have cardamom, so I used nutmeg instead. Delicious! This will definitely be my goto french toast recipe.
