Method

Mix the milk, sugar, vanilla, and eggs until fully combined.
Turn the griddle on to medium/low (300 to 325°F [150°C to 170°C]) heat.
Once the griddle is to temperature, lay down a pat of butter and move it around in a circle until fully melted on the surface. Dredge the bread in the egg wash and place on the melted butter. Cook for approximately 1–2 m
