In just a couple of weeks, it will be Father’s day. So, for this week I decided to share recipes that would be perfect for day to wake up to on that Sunday. First up is french toast sticks.
I love french toast, but french toast sticks are a welcomed treat for special occasions. What makes them extra special is these french toast sticks are fried. The coating for the sticks is almost more of a batter because flour is included in there.
After they are cooked, you can eat them just like that dipped in syrup. Or you can coat them in cinnamon sugar. If you do the cinnamon sugar coating you can forgo the syrup. There is plenty of sweetness there. However, my husband likes to have the cinnamon sugar on them and then still dip them in syrup. He definitely has a sweet tooth.

- Yield: 48 french toast sticks 1x
Description
Ingredients
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a deep skillet or dutch oven to 350 degrees.
- In the meantime, whisk the milk, flour, eggs, sugar, baking powder, vanilla and salt together in a shallow bowl.
- Cut each piece of bread into 4 pieces.
- If you want to use the cinnamon sugar coating, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Hwen the oil is heated, dip each stick of the bread in the batter, turning quickly to coat. You don’t want to soak the bread, just coat it. Place in the hot oil. Repeat with more of the sticks but don’t overcrowd the skillet. Cook until golden brown on the bottom side, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the second side.
- Transfer the cooked sticks to a paper towel lined plate and let them sit for a minute to drain while you add another batch to the oil. Then roll the cooked sticks in the cinnamon sugar if desired. Serve warm and with syrup if desired. Makes 48 french toast sticks.
