Notes
The batter should have the consistency of thick, wet paint. Add a dash more milk if it's too thick.
If you're using stale sandwich bread instead of brioche, make sure to soak the bread for longer.
Use a medium-low heat when cooking the French toast or it will burn easily when cooked in butter. Cook until the toast turns golden brown and the batter starts to crisp up and caramelize.
Storage: Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated.
