The Rabanadas recipe usually includes milk, a stick of stale bread, milk, egg, sugar, lemon, and cinnamon. They are always present at a Christmas table, reminding us of our childhood and traditional holiday dinners.
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.
