  • Egg Batter

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Prepare the batter
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth.

  8. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  9. Cook the French toast sticks
  10. Place the coated bread sticks in the skillet. Cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, turning as needed, until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
  11. Coat with cinnamon sugar
  12. While still warm, roll the cooked sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  13. Serve
  14. Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or desired toppings.

Notes

  • Cook over medium heat until lightly golden, firm to the touch, and heated through.
  • Dip bread briefly to avoid soggy texture.
  • Cook in batches for even browning.
  • Serve warm for best texture.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat until heated through before serving.
