Classic French Toast

1 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 slices day-old firm white bread
Butter

In a pie pan or other shallow pan, whisk together milk and flour; whisk in eggs, vanilla and salt. Soak each bread slice in egg mixture for 10 to 20 seconds on each side, or until just soaked through. Heat a little butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cover and cook soaked bread in the pan 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Serve with butter and syrup. Makes 6 slices.
