Ingredients
- 1-2 French bread* sliced 1.5 inches thick, should yield about 16 or so pieces
- 1 oz can of sweet condensed milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Slice the bread into 1.5" thick rounds and set aside.
- In a deep dish, add the sugar and cinnamon. Whisk to combine, and set aside. This is the coating for the deep fried French toasts.
- In a medium deep frying pan, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and about 1.5" up the side. Set aside.
- Line a large plate with paper towels and set aside. We will drain our rabanada here.
- In a medium bowl, measure in the condensed milk, the milk, the eggs and the vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- Dip the bread slices in the milk mixture until they absorb liquid, then gently squeeze the bread to remove excess liquid and place it on a plate. Do this to all pieces of bread, working gently yet quickly to not oversoak the bread.
- Place the oil pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, fry a few pieces of the French toast at a time until golden brown on both sides.
- Place the fried bread on the line paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Roll the bread in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still hot. Don't forget to coat the sides, too!
