Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these staples at local supermarkets in Ghana, like Shoprite or Melcom. Condensed milk is widely available in the tinned milk aisle. For the bread, any standard sliced white loaf from a local bakery or supermarket works perfectly, especially if it’s a day old. You can get cinnamon powder and vanilla essence in the baking or spice section of any grocery store. Vegetable oil is standard in every market or shop throughout the country.
Preparation method
- Cut each slice of bread into four equal pieces
- Whisk together the condensed milk, water, and vanilla essence in a deep mixing bowl
- Dip the bread pieces into the liquid mixture, ensuring they soak up plenty of it
- Transfer the soaked bread directly into the bowl with the beaten eggs
- Remove each piece from the egg wash and let the excess liquid drip off for a few seconds
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the rabanadas over medium heat until they are evenly golden
- Place the fried bread onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil
- Dust the hot slices generously with a blend of sugar and ground cinnamon before serving
Observations
This recipe uses sliced white bread to create delicate, treat-worthy portions. The key to the perfect finish is letting the bread soak up the creamy mixture thoroughly before frying, and keeping a steady heat so they turn out beautifully golden with a lovely, soft texture.
