Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until smooth. Let it thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the Flavorings: Incorporate vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt into the batter. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Add butter or oil to a preheated skillet and ensure it's bubbling without browning.
  5. Soak the Bread: Dip thick slices of bread in the batter, coating both sides and allowing excess to drip off.
  6. Cook the Toast: Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are toasted.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Stack the toast, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and add chopped nuts if desired.
