Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like white bread, eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and ground cinnamon are staple items found in any Irish supermarket. For the condensed milk, you will find it in the baking or tinned goods aisle. If you are struggling to find specific Brazilian ingredients, check the 'world food' or 'international' section of your local supermarket or visit a speciality Asian or Latin American grocery store in larger urban areas like Dublin, Cork, or Galway.
Preparation method
- Cut each slice of bread into four equal squares
- Whisk the condensed milk, water, and vanilla essence together in a deep mixing bowl
- Dip the bread pieces into the milk mixture until they are completely soaked through
- Carefully dunk each soaked piece into the bowl of beaten eggs
- Lift the pieces out of the egg and let any excess drip off for a few moments
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the rabanadas over a moderate heat until they are evenly golden
- Transfer the fried slices onto a plate lined with kitchen roll to absorb any surplus oil
- Finish by dusting the rabanadas with a blend of sugar and cinnamon while they are still warm
Observations
This recipe uses thick slices of bread to create a delicate and satisfying dessert. The secret to getting the texture just right is to make sure the bread soaks up the liquid thoroughly before frying, while keeping the oil at a steady heat for that perfect, golden-brown finish.
