Where to find ingredients
You can find standard white sandwich bread, condensed milk, and eggs at any major supermarket across Fiji. For the best result, use bread that is a day old as it holds its shape better when soaked. Ground cinnamon and caster sugar are available in the baking aisle of all local grocery shops. Vegetable oil can be found in the cooking oil section of any local supermarket or general store.
Preparation method
- Cut each slice of bread into four equal squares
- Whisk the condensed milk, water, and vanilla essence together in a deep bowl until well combined
- Dip the bread squares into the liquid mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly soaked through
- Dredge each soaked piece through the beaten egg mixture
- Lift from the egg and hold for a moment to let any excess liquid drip off
- Heat the oil and fry the rabanada over medium heat, turning to ensure they turn a uniform golden brown
- Transfer the fried slices onto a tray lined with paper towels to drain away excess oil
- Finish by dusting generously with a mix of sugar and cinnamon while still warm before serving
Observations
This recipe uses standard sandwich bread to create delicate, golden slices. The secret to the perfect result is ensuring the bread soaks up the creamy mixture thoroughly before frying, while keeping the heat steady so each piece turns out golden and perfectly textured.
