Ingredients Needed
You do not need many things to make this tasty morning meal. Most of these items are already sitting in your kitchen cabinets. Here is what you need to gather before you start cooking.
- Four thick slices of bread
- Two large eggs
- One quarter cup of milk
- One teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Two tablespoons of butter for the pan
- Maple syrup for dipping
- A little bit of powdered sugar for topping
Step By Step Making
Cooking this meal is very simple. Just follow these steps closely, and your food will turn out great every single time.
- Take your thick slices of bread and cut each slice into three long strips. Making them the size of a finger works best. Set the bread aside on a clean plate.
- Grab a wide, flat bowl. Crack your two large eggs right into the bowl. Pour in the milk, the ground cinnamon, and the vanilla extract.
- Take a fork and whisk everything together very well until the eggs and milk are fully mixed and the cinnamon smells amazing.
- Place a large frying pan on your stove. Turn the heat to medium. Add your butter to the pan and let it melt completely, covering the bottom of the pan.
- Take your bread strips one by one and dip them into the egg mixture. Let them soak for just a few seconds on each side so they get wet, but do not let them get too soggy or they will break apart.
- Put the soaked bread strips right into the hot pan. Cook them for about two minutes on each side until they turn a nice golden brown color.
- Take the warm sticks out of the pan and put them on a plate. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top if you like things sweet. Serve them hot with a small bowl of maple syrup on the side for dipping.
