Added step 1:
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and salt in a shallow dish until no streaks of egg white remain.
3 minAdded step 2:
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and melt half the butter in it.
3 minAdded step 3:
Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, turning once, until coated and a little soaked. Soft bread needs only a quick dip; sturdy bread can soak a few seconds longer.
3 minAdded step 4:
Fry the slices for 3–4 minutes per side until both sides are browned and the middle is cooked through. Work in two batches if needed, adding the rest of the butter. Too much heat scorches the outside before the inside sets.
8 minAdded step 5:
Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar, with strawberries and maple syrup.
