1/4 c. butter
3 egg yolks
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
16 slices of bread, 3/4 inch thick

Put 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 (15 x 10 inch) pans; heat in 425 degree oven until hot.

Combine egg yolks, sugar and salt; beat at high speed using an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the milk and vanilla. Fold in the egg whites.

Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture and place in the hot pans. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes; turn and bake 5 minutes longer or until golden brown. Serve immediately with butter and syrup.
