Thanks to David Moerschel for this fabulous new recipe

Start with the batter
Mix Well:
one egg per person
¼ cup of milk per person
1 teaspoon of cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon of oil (not olive)

Quickly dip the toast into the batter, but don’t let it sit too long

Put the bread into a butter greased frying pan on medium heat

Cook on one side until it is “toasted” or crispy

Just before bread is “toasted,” place a bit of butter on the top of each slice. Then when when you flip it, the butter will be between the pan surface and the bread to grease it.  It is done when the second side is toasted.
