Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Cinnamon French Toast Sticks are thick bread batons coated with a lightly eggy mixture, pan-fried until golden, and then rolled in a cinnamon-sugar blend while still warm. This method creates crispy edges with a tender interior and a sweet, warmly spiced coating. Serve with maple syrup for dipping to complement the sugary cinnamon coating.

Ingredients
- 4 white bread Note 1, thick slices, preferably stale
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 3 tbsp butter
- maple syrup optional, to serve
Instructions
- Remove crust of each slice, then cut each into 3 equal thick batons.
- Combine the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll the bread sticks in.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
- Melt 2 tbsp of 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. Cook 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.
- Melt remaining butter and cook the remaining french toast sticks.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup to dunk the sticks in.

Notes
- Use thick slices of stale bread to keep the French toast sticks firm and prevent sogginess.
- Removing the crust and cutting into batons helps create uniform sticks about 1.7 cm thick.
- Roll cooked sticks in cinnamon sugar immediately while hot for the coating to stick well.
