A few years ago, at the age of 50, I decided to teach myself to cook. I made this French toast that my mother would serve with grilled ham and sweet warm maple syrup. I was so pleased with the results, I've been cooking ever since!

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
