French Toast

Directions

• Cut the baguette or French bread into slices about 2 cm thick. 
  If you prefer, remove the skins from the slices.
• In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar and ground cinnamon. 
  Beat well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
• Dip the bread slices into the milk mixture, letting them soak for a few seconds on each side. 
  Make sure all sides of slices are soaked well.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bread slices.
• Place the bread slices breaded in the frying pan with the hot oil. 
  Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
• Remove the fried bread slices from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• In a shallow dish, combine powdered sugar and cinnamon. 
  Dip the fried french toast in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, covering all sides.
• Transfer the french toasts to a serving platter. 
  If desired, sprinkle icing sugar on top for a prettier presentation.
• Serve the french toasts still warm. 
  They can be enjoyed both for breakfast and as a dessert.
