Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200˚F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, and eggs in a bowl or baking dish. Soak a piece of bread in the mixture for 2 minutes per side.

Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Place the soaked bread on the waffle iron and close gently (don't push down). Cook until golden brown and dry underneath when you lift a corner, 5 to 6 minutes. Keep warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate. Repeat with the remaining bread.

Top the French toast with syrup, raspberries and confectioners' sugar.
