I often find myself looking for breakfast recipes that are quick, easy, and delicious. One of our favorite recipes to make on weekends is sourdough French toast. This recipe combines classic French toast flavors with the tangy, slightly sour taste of sourdough bread, resulting in a unique and mouth-watering breakfast dish.
To make sourdough French toast, you will need just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt form the base of the custard-like mixture that coats the bread. We like to use thick slices of sourdough bread for this recipe, as the chewy texture and tangy flavor of the bread pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy egg mixture.
Once you have the ingredients ready, making the French toast is a breeze. Simply whisk the egg mixture together in a bowl, dip the bread slices in the mixture, and cook them on a non-stick skillet with a little bit of butter. The result is golden brown slices of French toast that are crispy on the outside and soft and custardy on the inside.
To serve, we like to top our sourdough French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of whipped cream. The sweet and tangy flavors work together to create a breakfast that is both indulgent and satisfying. So next time you’re in the mood for a special breakfast treat, try making sourdough French toast. It’s easy, delicious, and sure to become a new family favorite.
My wife and I are self-professed cookie lovers, and our love for Chick-fil-A cookies runs deep. My wife and I have a guilty pleasure – Chick-fil-A cookies! We can’t resist their chewy, chocolatey goodness. But, as much as we love them, we know we shouldn’t be eating them all the time. So, we set out to find an alternative that would satisfy our craving, but without all the extra calories.
We scoured the internet and stumbled upon a few recipes that were close, but not quite right. Some were too dry, some too sweet, and others just didn’t have that signature Chick-fil-A texture. So, we decided to put our baking skills to the test and craft our own recipe.
After a few trials and errors, we finally nailed it – the perfect copycat Chick-fil-A cookie recipe! It has all the same ingredients that we know and love, but with a few healthy substitutions to make it guilt-free. We even added a secret ingredient to make them extra chewy and delicious.
Now, we can indulge in our favorite cookie whenever the craving strikes, without feeling guilty. And, we even shared our recipe with friends and family who are also Chick-fil-A cookie addicts.
When it comes to comfort food, Lemon Chicken Orzo pasta is a dish that never disappoints. This recipe has been a family favorite for years and we’ve shared it with our friends, who also love it. Even my sister in Oklahoma loves this dish. One of the reasons why we love this recipe is because […]

Homemade pretzels are not only delicious, but they’re also fun to make and a great activity to […]
“Grandma’s Secret Snickerdoodle Recipe: The Sweetest Treat You’ll Ever Taste!
Snickerdoodles have been a classic American cookie for generations, and for good reason. They’re soft, chewy, and coated in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar that makes them irresistible. But there’s one snickerdoodle recipe that stands out above all the rest, and that’s my grandma’s.
My grandma has been making these snickerdoodles for as long as I can remember, and every time I bite into one, I’m transported back to my childhood. There’s just something about the combination of the soft, buttery dough and the warm, spicy coating that makes these cookies truly one-of-a-kind.
But what makes my grandma’s snickerdoodles so special? It all comes down to a few key ingredients and techniques. For starters, she uses a generous amount of butter to give the cookies their signature texture. And instead of just using cinnamon for the coating, she adds a pinch of nutmeg to give the cookies a slightly warm, nutty flavor.
But the real secret to her snickerdoodles is the way she rolls the dough. Instead of just shaping the dough into balls, she rolls them first in cinnamon and sugar, then in a mixture of cream of tartar and sugar. This gives the cookies their distinctive tangy flavor and helps them hold their shape as they bake.
Here’s the full recipe, so you can try making my grandma’s snickerdoodles at home:
Ingredients:
2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then roll it in the cream of tartar-sugar mixture.
Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten each one slightly with your hand.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
And there you have it! Grandma’s secret snickerdoodle recipe, passed down from generation to generation. Whether you’re a fan of classic snickerdoodles or you’re trying them for the first time, these cookies are sure to become a new favorite. So bake up a batch today and enjoy the sweet, nostalgic taste of my grandma’s snickerdoodles.”
