Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Cut each slice into 4 sticks. (Remove the crust if you want – this is optional. Makes it look neater.)
  2. Combine the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll the bread sticks in.
  3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
  4. Heat half the butter in a large pan over medium high heat.
  5. Roll the sticks in the egg mixture quickly (do not soak them), shake off excess and place in pan. In my pan I can fit 8 sticks so I cook them in 2 batches.
  6. Turn to cook each side until golden.
  7. 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.
  8. Melt remaining batter and cook the remaining french toast sticks.
  9. Serve immediately with maple syrup to dunk the sticks in.
Recipe Notes

1. French toast is best made using stale bread. Fresh bread soaks up too much egg mixture, making it soggy on the inside and your sticks will flop when you pick them up.

2. It is best to use a loaf so you can cut thick slices as the thicker the sticks are (and the staler the bread is), the stiffer the sticks are (ie. they won’t flop when picked up using fingers).
