Ingredients

6 slices Texas toast or other thick sliced bread preferably stale
3 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions

Trim the crusts off the bread and cut into sticks.
Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine the sugar and cinnamon on a shallow plate.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter and heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip the sticks in the egg batter letting the excess drip off. Add them to the skillet in single layer with space between them. Flip them after the bottom has browned. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Work in batches adding more butter and oil if needed.
Remove from the pan and using tongs roll them in the cinnamon sugar.

Notes

This recipe works best with stale bread so plan ahead or follow these tips for drying out bread.
A combination of vegetable oil and butter works best for browning.
When frying work in batches leaving space between the sticks
The sticks should be warm when rolled in the cinnamon sugar so it sticks to them.
For best results serve promptly or place in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven on warm until ready to serve.
Serve with warm maple syrup for dipping.
