Cinnamon French Toast Sticks

My love affair with rediscovering french toast continues. Last week it was Apple French Toast, a pile of french toast dripping with self saucing stewed apple syrup. The week before it was Parmesan French Toast (insanely delicious!). This week it’s french toast sticks – eat it with your fingers (tick), tastes like cinnamon doughnuts but a whole lot healthier (double tick)!

I’m loving coming up with fresh takes on french toast! Growing up I always adored french toast but it was always the classic version drowning in syrup. When I was in uni, I discovered how good it was to pile bacon onto it, and yes, still drown it in maple syrup. I used to call this a “Heart Attack On A Plate”. This was before the day when “sweet and salty” became all the rage and everyone I made this for were dubious until they took their first mouthful – then they were converted for life.

Ingredients

• 4 thick slices white bread, preferably stale (Note 1)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 3 tbsp butter
• Maple syrup to serve (optional)

Instructions

1. Remove crust of each slice, then cut each into 3 equal thick batons.
2. Combine the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll the bread sticks in.
3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
4. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a large pan over medium high heat.
5. Roll the sticks in the egg mixture quickly (do not soak them), shake off excess and place in pan. Cook in 2 batches.
