I asked on a Saturday Morning for many a year….”What do you want for breakfast?” The most popular answer, whatever the age: “Puffy French Toast!”
When you can’t decide whether you want pancakes or french toast, ask for Puffy French Toast and you’ll get both!
They are very filling so there is one per serving! I try to encourage Bill to only eat one, but he is pretty insistent on two!
I discovered this recipe around the early 1970’s. I have used a boxed pancake mix or a pancake batter from scratch and they both work great!
If you’ve never tried this before, get ready for a delicious, over-the-top, special treat for breakfast!

Enjoy!

Wow, this was my first try at using pancake mix for French toast… and my husband loved it! All I added was a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a touch of cinnamon. They were amazing! They cooked up nicely too.. “Fluffy AND Puffy!” Two left over in the freezer, for another easy breakfast!
So happy you tried it and enjoyed it!
