Pancakes and French Toast

Cereal and milk is the best option (with a banana thrown in for nutrition) but if you have extra time on a Sunday, here are recipes for Pancakes and French Toast:

French Toast
Eggs
Milk
Oil
Sugar OR Vanilla OR Cinnamon OR Brown sugar
Challah bread, soft rolls, or any kind of soft bread, sliced

Beat a couple of eggs in a bowl, and add some milk until it is less thick but not yet runny. Add a capful of vanilla or a few dashes of cinnamon if you want, or pour in some brown or white sugar. Stir together, then soak the bread slices for about 3 minutes, until soft but not so it falls apart. You'll probably have to soak 1 or 2 at a time depending on how big your bowl is. Pour oil on a frying pan and turn the flame to medium low. Cook the soggy bread for about 3-6 minutes on each side, until it is firm and no longer soggy (this means the eggs have been cooked.) Enjoy! Top it with syrup, jam (if you have learned to like it) or sugar. Yummy.


Pancakes (you can also buy the mix like Mom used to - much easier, and mix and cook like it says on the box)
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 Tbs oil
Mix together, then add (but don't mix yet):
1 cup flour
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder

Mix together, but not too well. Pour oil on a frying pan and turn the flame to medium, let the oil get hot. Then scoop some batter (using a spoon or a measuring cup) onto the frying pan and cook until there are bubbles in the middle of the pancake and the edges are lightly brown. Flip over carefully using a spatula, so it doesn't splatter, and cook for another 2 minutes. Pancake should be golden brown. Eat with syrup, melted butter, chocolate chips, or whatever else you want.
