Pain perdu (French toast)

Slice bread into 1 inch or so slices (I like mine thick)

Whisk well the remaining ingredients.

Soak the bread in the custard until completely saturated.

In a skillet on med-hi heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and a 1 tablespoon oil. Cook each slice until golden brown on both sides, adjusting the heat if necessary so it doesn't burn.

The tablespoon of flour helps to produce a very nice crust. Serve with butter and powdered sugar or whatever you like on yours.
