French Toast Breakfast Tips

use butter and oil combined for frying for the best flavor
drain them on paper towels to absorb the grease
keep it warm to keep crispy on a serving dish in the oven until completed cooking all the French toast
for best results add the flour and milk to a blender and pulse until smooth to get a nice combined mixture, adding the eggs last

don't worry if you made too much, freeze them cooked on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and then add them to freezer bags. Pop them in the toaster when ready to serve they last around 3 months in the freezer
