Dip bread into batter, coating both sides; cook on a greased hot griddle until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. , Meanwhile, for syrup, in a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and molasses.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
• When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
• Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
• Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
• Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

FIFI'S FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Beat with a rotary beater or fork until yolks and whites are mixed together. Add milk and, if you like, cinnamon. Beat until ingredients are well mixed. Pour egg mixture into a pie plate.
• Put half of the butter in a skillet. Put the skillet on a burner. Turn the burner to medium heat and let the butter melt.
• Dip 1 slice of bread into egg mixture. Turn bread over with a pancake turner to coat the other side. Put coated bread in skillet. Repeat with second slice of bread.
• Cook until bottoms are light brown. (To check, lift bread with pancake turner and peek underneath.) This will take 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn bread over. Cook until second sides are light brown (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes more). Remove bread from the skillet.
• If necessary, put remaining butter in the skillet. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with remaining bread and egg mixture. Turn off burner. Remove skillet from burner. If you like, serve French toast with fresh fruit and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Serve with a drizzle of syrup, bacon strips, and a glass of milk. *NOTE: If you don't use firm-textured bread, such as French bread, cover bread slices with paper towels and let them stand out on a counter for several hours or until they are dry.
