Serves 6 Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 slices Lakeland Texas Toast Bread
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for serving if desired
  • Maple syrup
Directions: Preheat oven to 350° Line an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl whisk together sugar and cinnamon, set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla and salt until very well blended. Cut each slice of bread into even three strips. Dip each portion into egg mixture, then lift and let excess run off and transfer to the prepared baking sheet leaving a little space between strips. Using a basting brush, brush the tops of the french toast sticks lightly with 1 Tbsp of the melted butter. Sprinkle tops evenly with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes. Remove from oven, flip french toast sticks to opposite side and brush tops lightly with remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle evenly with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Return to oven and continue to bake until cooked through, about 13 – 18 minutes longer. Let cool for a few minutes. Brush lightly with a little more melted butter if desired and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
