Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl. Beat lightly, and stir in sugar, salt, and milk.
Over medium-low heat, heat pan coated with a thin layer of butter.
Soak individual slices of bread in egg mixture for a few seconds, then carefully turn to coat the other side. Soak/coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at one time.
Transfer bread slices to pan, heating slowly until bottom is golden brown. Turn and brown the other side. Serve with butter and syrup.
