French Toast

I love French toast.  It's pretty much the perfect breakfast.  Today I tried a new recipe, and we were all happy with the results.

1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
pinch salt
sprinkle of ginger (to your taste)
sprinkle of cinnamon (to your taste)
3 medium eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cup half & half
1 loaf of crusty bread (my local grocery makes an awesome sourdough baguette!)

Slice bread thickly (1/2 to 1 inch) and set aside.  Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl, breaking up clumps of brown sugar to the best of your ability.  Mix in eggs, then vanilla, then half & half.  Get your skillet hot and add butter/margarine/cooking spray (whichever you prefer).  Submerge your slices of bread and let them soak for at least 10 seconds.  Place the bread in the skillet and brown on both sides.
