Preheat griddle to 350°F (175°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat.
In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Blend until smooth.
If you prefer whisking by hand, start by mixing the flour and eggs together in a shallow dish, then whisk in the rest of the ingredients until combined.
Dip bread slices into the batter, dredging them well on both sides, and place on hot, greased griddle or skillet.
Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the bread starts to get golden brown.
Flip and cook on the other side the same.
Remove to a plate.
Sprinkle with some powdered sugar.
Serve warm with warm syrup and melted butter. (Or fruit if you like to put boring stuff on French toast!)

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Bread: Use thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It's nice (but not necessary) if the bread is a few days old, or slightly stale. Even try using cinnamon toast, or brioche!
Flour in French toast batter? Yes! The flour helps to make more of a "batter" for dipping the bread, which yields extra fluffy and delicious French toast.
Milk: Whole milk is great, or even heavy cream.
Make Ahead Instructions: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.
Freezing Instructions: Allow French toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave (but not too long as it will make it too chewy and tough). Or I have found the best results are in an air fryer.
