Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be found at local supermarkets or grocery stores. For white bread, any standard loaf works well; day-old bread is ideal for better absorption. For the oil, use a neutral vegetable oil suitable for deep frying.
Preparation method
- Cut each slice of bread into four equal pieces.
- Prepare a mixture in a deep bowl by combining the sweetened condensed milk with the water and vanilla extract.
- Soak the pieces of bread in the liquid mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly saturated.
- Dip each soaked piece into the bowl of beaten eggs.
- Remove from the egg mixture and wait a few moments for the excess liquid to drip off.
- Heat the oil and fry the slices over moderate heat until they are evenly golden brown.
- Transfer the fried slices to a container lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Finish by sprinkling a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon over the slices while they are still warm before serving.
Observations
This recipe uses sliced white bread to create delicate, golden bites. The secret to achieving the perfect result is ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid base well before frying, while carefully maintaining oil temperature to achieve a crisp, golden exterior and a tender, moist interior texture.
