Mix all ingredients besides the bread in a large bowl.
Pour batter into a shallow dish for easy dipping, I used a 9x13 dish.
Lightly coat griddle with vegetable oil.
Quickly dip in bread slices one at a time until coated but not soaked through. Add to griddle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until browned then flip.
Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until browned.
Add oil between batches.
Serve warm with pure maple syrup and a dollop of butter.
Notes
