Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 pieces thick, stale bread
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter
Coating
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Cut each piece of bread into 4 sticks.
- Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Stir together to combine and set aside.
- Place eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl. Whisk together to combine.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the warmed skillet or griddle to melt.
- Dip bread sticks in the milk mixture and place on skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove cooked bread sticks from skillet and immediately toss in sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Repeat cooking the remaining bread sticks. Add butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve them warm.
Notes
- Stale, thick bread works best. If possible, try and find an uncut loaf of bread so that you can cut thicker slices. Thick slices help them not to flop.
- Don't soak the bread too long in the egg mixture so that it doesn't become too soggy.
- Make sure to work in batches when cooking. You want the sticks to have a little space between them.
- Be sure not to let the pan get too hot. You want the French toast sticks to cook through and not burn on the outside.
