Where to find ingredients
Find white bread, eggs, and sugar at local supermarkets or bakeries. Sweetened condensed milk is available in the canned goods aisle. As a substitute for bread of this specific texture, brioche or any sturdy enriched bread may be used if day-old white bread is unavailable.
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 essence
- Dip the bread pieces into the liquid mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly soaked
- Dunk each soaked piece into the previously beaten eggs
- Remove from the egg and wait a few moments to let the excess liquid drain off
- Heat the oil and fry the slices over moderate heat so they brown evenly
- Transfer the fried slices to a container lined with paper towels to remove excess fat
- 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 morsels. The secret to achieving the ideal result is ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid mixture well before frying, while maintaining steady heat control so that the slices become perfectly golden with the right texture.
