A delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring a crispy cinnamon coating and a rich, creamy flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Ensure the batter is well-mixed to avoid lumps of flour.
In a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.
Adjust the cinnamon-to-sugar ratio to your taste preference.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the bread to achieve a crispy texture.
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it in the hot pan.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook each slice for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Flip the bread gently to avoid breaking it.
Remove the cooked slices from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the bread gently with paper towels to remove as much oil as possible.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar coating over the hot French toast slices.
Sprinkle the coating evenly for consistent flavor.
Serve the French toast warm, optionally with syrup or fresh fruit.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
