A few weeks ago, Daddy and Mommy went on a date. Kitty was making French toast for supper (my favorite!), so I asked if I could help. We had lots of fun 
together. She rolled the bread in the goopy stuff and then put it in the pan. Then we let it cook for a little 
while. We had two pans going so that we could get it made faster, so she flipped the bread on the square pan and I flipped the bread on 
the circle one. I learned that you have to be very careful and keep your hand away from the hot sides of the pan, because I accidently burned myself! Ouch! I still got to help finish making supper, though. I like to cook!
When it was all done, all of us kids ate it with maple syrup. Yummy! Here is the recipe:
French Toast
3 beaten eggs
¾ cup milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
¼ tsp. salt
10 slices of dry white bread
Maple syrup
In a shallow bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Dip bread in egg mixture, coating both sides. In a greased skillet, cook bread on both sides over medium heat until golden brown. Serve with syrup.
Notes from the cook:
The French toast is best (and better for you) when made with Mommy’s homemade whole wheat bread. It fills hungry boys like me up faster that way.:)
It is also yummy when eaten with powdered sugar instead of syrup.
Kitty doubled the recipe for our family, but used a few more pieces of bread than the double batch called for, just to use up the goopy stuff.
Herman,
It sounds like you had lots of fun helping Kitty in the kitchen with supper! We like to eat the French Toast that Mr. Willard makes occassionally. It is good that you are learning to cook. There is nothing wrong with a boy learning to help in the kitchen and how to cook. I’m sorry you learned the hard way about pans being hot. I hope your hand is feeling much better now. Keep up the good work of learning different skills. The Lord uses ALL things that we learn for a purpose in our future.
I love to cook with my siblings especially when making a fun food like French Toast. The fun we always have together and the messes are just….well…unbeatable. 🙂 Keep being a blessing to your family Herman.
Go Herman – you have some excellent teachers to learn from there. Now that French Toast sounds scrum-dilly-licious – I think we should try it out sometime soon! Let us know when you’re in the area….. 🙂
Hermon, that french toast sounds & looks delicious! Cooking it a great skill to bless others with, so keep up the great work!
It is admirable that you demonstrated perseverance & diligence by continuing to help even though you got burned.
Herman-
Isn’t it amazing what the ‘goopy stuff’ can do to already good-tasting bread?! Mr. Keller and I like French Toast too.
Mrs. Keller
p.s. putting black tea (cool)on a burn is a wonderful remedy.
Hey Herman, it’s great to see how you’re helping out. Cooking is fun. I like your idea of using whole wheat bread – that’s the way we always do it. Delicious ain’t it!
