Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 slices baguette a day old, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1/2 liter milk
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 5 eggs
  • 250 g butter
  • granulated sugar
  • ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, heat up the milk and dissolve the vanilla sugar (or vanilla essence).
  • In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Add the cinnamons.
  • Heat a frying pan and melt about 2-3 tablespoons of butter at a time.
  • Take a bread slice and dip it into the vanilla milk, allowing it to soak well before turning over on the other side.
  • Dip the bread slice in the egg on both sides and fry until browned and crispy. You'll want to work in batches of 3 or 4 slices at a time (depending on how large your frying pan is).
  • Dip warm rabanadas in cinnamon-sugar to coat all sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy!
