Chef's Essential Tip
Essential for Classic French Toast with Berries and Maple Syrup
A pro tip matched to this dish — not a generic kitchen shortcut.
Let your skillet heat for a few minutes before adding butter or batter. A properly preheated pan prevents sticking and gives even color on pancakes and eggs.
Kitchen Tip
Use day-old bread for the best results. The slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming soggy.
