Where to find ingredients
You can find sliced bread at any local supermarket or bakery. Sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract are usually in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. Eggs are readily available everywhere. Vegetable oil is a common cooking staple found in all supermarkets. The sugar and cinnamon for dusting are also standard items.
Preparation method
- Cut each slice of bread into four equal pieces
- In a deep bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, water, and vanilla extract
- Dip the bread pieces into the liquid mixture, letting them soak thoroughly
- Dunk each soaked bread piece into the beaten eggs
- Remove from the egg and let it drip for a few moments to drain excess liquid
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and fry the bread slices over medium heat until they are evenly golden brown
- Transfer the fried slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease
- While still warm, sprinkle generously with a mix of sugar and cinnamon before serving
Observations
This recipe uses sliced bread to create delicate pieces. The key to getting them just right is to make sure the bread soaks up the liquid properly before frying, and to control the heat so they turn out golden with the perfect texture.
