Instructions
1
In a small bowl, mix together the white sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
2
Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten eggs, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
4
Pour the egg mixture into a flat dish that is large enough to dip the bread slices.
5
Take a slice of white bread and dip it into the egg mixture. Ensure both sides are well-coated, and gently poke the bread with a fork a few times to allow the custard to soak through.
6
Once dipped, sprinkle one side of the bread generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place the sugared side face down onto the preheated pan.
7
After placing the bread in the pan, sprinkle the top side generously with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
8
Cook the toast for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the toast carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until slightly firm and no longer wet.
9
Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adjusting heat as necessary, and serve warm with a dusting of extra cinnamon sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
