Rabanadas Natalícias
Description
Rabanadas Natalícias is a festive dish that uses baguette slices left to absorb a vanilla-infused milk soak, which softens the bread internally while allowing for a rich flavor. The slices are then dipped in a mixture of eggs mixed with ground cinnamon, adding spice and aiding in creating a crisp crust when fried. Cooking them in butter achieves a golden-brown exterior with a slight crispiness that contrasts with the soft soaked bread inside.
The coating of cinnamon sugar after frying enhances their sweet profile and adds a slight crunch and aromatic spice, complementing the richness from the butter and eggs. They can be served warm, maintaining their tender moistness and slight richness, or at room temperature once the coating sets.
This recipe is well-suited for festive occasions or when there is leftover bread to transform into a sweet, satisfying treat. It is straightforward but benefits from the gentle soaking and careful frying steps to balance texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 12 lices baguette a day old, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 150 g sugar
- 1/2 liter milk
- 1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 5 egg
- 250 g butter
- granulated sugar
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat up the milk and dissolve the vanilla sugar (or vanilla essence).
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Add the cinnamons.
- Heat a frying pan and melt about 2-3 tablespoons of butter at a time.
- Take a bread slice and dip it into the vanilla milk, allowing it to soak well before turning over on the other side.
- Dip the bread slice in the egg on both sides and fry until browned and crispy. You'll want to work in batches of 3 or 4 slices at a time (depending on how large your frying pan is).
- Dip warm rabanadas in cinnamon-sugar to coat all sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy!
