French Vanilla Toast & Buttermilk Syrup

This is one of our favorite special occasion breakfasts, I think I might have made it once when everyone came for conference.
For the french toast:
3 eggs
1/2 c milk
1 c vanilla coffeemate
bread
Buttermilk Syrup:
1/2 c butter
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c buttermilk, or a about a tbsp of vinegar in milk
Boil (in a fairly large pan because it will bubble a lot) take off heat and add:
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp soda, stir till frothy
It is also delicious served with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
