IHOP French Toast and homemade syrup

2 eggs
½ cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 Tablespoons flour
6 slices of thick sliced French bread

First beat eggs, then add remaining ingredients with electric mixer. Dip both sides of bread and place in hot buttered pan. Flip over when browned. Serve with Homemade Syrup.

Coconut or vanilla or maple Syrup
7-8 Tablespoons butter
¾ cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coconut/vanilla/maple extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot. Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the 'fizz' to reduce before serving.
