Pancakes, not French toast
French toast casserole soaks bread overnight. This is a griddle batter. Overnight oats is another breakfast URL.
Substitutions
Half whole-wheat flour works. Blueberries in the pour, not a new page.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not beat the batter smooth. Do not crank the heat or the outside burns before the middle sets.
Storage
Cool and freeze with parchment between cakes 1 month. Toast to reheat.
Nutrition (estimated)
About 160 calories per pancake before syrup. Estimate only, not a lab test.
FAQ
Why are they dense?
Overmixed batter or old baking soda. Stir until the flour just disappears.
Can I use regular milk?
Acidify it (see notes) or the soda has nothing to react with.
Is this overnight French toast?
No. That is a baked bread casserole on this site.
How do I keep them warm?
A 200°F oven on a rack, not stacked, so they do not steam.
