Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Servings 2 to 3 people
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices stale white bread
- 1 1/2 tbs butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- maple syrup to serve, optional
Instructions
- Cut each slice into 4 sticks. (Remove the crust if you want - this is optional)
- Combine the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll the breadsticks in.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
- Heat half the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat
- Roll the sticks in the egg mixture quickly (do not soak them), shake off excess, and place in pan. In my pan, I can fit 8 sticks so I cook them in 2 batches.
- Turn to cook each side until golden.
- Immediately transfer to the plate with the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat. It's important to do this quickly while they are hot straight out of the pan so it sticks.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup to dunk the sticks in
Notes
French Toast you can eat with your fingers and tastes like cinnamon doughnuts!
* It is best to use a loaf so you can cut thick
slices as the thicker the sticks are (and the
staler the bread is), the stiffer they are (ie. they
won't flop when picked up using fingers).
