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 eggs
- 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.
