Ingredients
  

For the Churro French Toast
  • 4 slices thick bread (brioche or Texas toast) The thicker, the better for soaking up that delicious egg mixture.
  • 2 large eggs For a rich, custardy texture.
  • 1/2 cup milk Whole milk works best.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a lovely depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Because we can't have churros without it!
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens up our cinnamon sugar coating.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter For frying.
Optional for Serving
  • whipped cream or chocolate sauce

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Griddle
  • Medium bowl
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Make the French Toast Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Dip the Bread: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaking.
  4. Step 4: Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed for cooking.
  5. Step 5: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Once cooked, immediately coat each slice of French toast in the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Step 6: Serve: Serve warm with optional whipped cream or chocolate sauce drizzled on top.
