If you’re anything like me, then you might prefer toasted French toast over the soft one, which is why I like making these homemade sticks, to give it a bit more toastiness.
HOMEMADE FRENCH TOAST STICKS
The key to getting them nice and toasty is lightly dipping them in egg, if you keep them for too long, they will absorb the liquid and turn out soggy. But if that’s your preference, I think you’ll like the French toast casserole recipe.
This recipe only uses a few ingredients such as: powdered sugar, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, sliced bread, and white sugar.
Follow the directions down below to achieve the quickest and crunchiest cinnamon French toast sticks.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR THE FRENCH TOAST STICKS RECIPE?
- Eggs: Use a decent quality of eggs for this recipe. A hack to knowing if your eggs have gone bad is by putting them in a bowl of water. They’re fresh if they sink into the bottom, but if they float, they have probably gone bad.
- Powdered sugar: For convenience, since it tends to melt faster compared to granulated sugar.
- White granulated sugar: A classic coating to French toast, making them taste like churros when combined with a bit of powdered cinnamon.
- Maple syrup: It’s used in both the egg mix and as a dip when serving. It gives your egg coating more flavor and sweetness.
- Ground cinnamon: It’s a crucial component to any French toast. Spices usually lose their potency or get bad when kept away for a long period of time. To check if it’s still good, sniff it to see if it still has a strong smell of cinnamon.
- Sliced white bread: I recommend using one that isn’t too tender, or day-old bread. This way, your French toast won’t come out too soggy. You’re free to even use potato bread or whole wheat.
- Cooking spray: This isn’t a low-calorie recipe, so feel free to use the butter flavored kind.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST STICKS?
1. Combine your milk, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, maple syrup, milk, and eggs in a bowl using a whisk.
2. Separate into thirds each of your bread slices and submerge them into the egg mix.
3. Mix ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon with half a cup of granulated sugar on a plate. Put a frying pan over the stove to heat with some cooking spray, then throw in your sticks to brown them. Once done, take them off the pan and quickly coat them with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
FREEZE FRENCH TOAST STICKS?
– Allow to fully cool down before putting them on a baking pan and freezing them for around an hour first.
– Afterwards, you may place them in a freezer bag. This prevents them from sticking together and makes it easier to take out the number you want without defrosting them all.
TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST FRENCH TOAST STICKS:
1. The good thing about using powdered sugar in the egg mix is that it melts quickly.
2. The edges of the bread are the best part in my opinion, because they tend to toast really well. If you don’t like them, leave them out.
3. It is important that you don’t leave your breadsticks in the egg mix for too long, they will turn out too soft and soggy.
4. Quickly coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still hot, to help it hold on well.
5. Go over all four sides when toasting.
