Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Butter, for frying
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Cook each slice until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Immediately after cooking, coat each piece of French toast in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Make sure both sides are well coated.
- Serve the Churro French Toast warm, with your choice of toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
