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.
