Cinnamon Sugar
- 150 grams Granulated or Caster Sugar
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
Batter
- 1 Egg

- 15 grams Caster Sugar (1 tbsp + 1 tsp)
- 250 ml Milk I use oat milk
- 180 grams Plain Flour All Purpose
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Bread & Oil
- 5 Thick Slices of White Bread
- Oil for frying I use vegetable oil
Instructions
- Firstly make the Cinnamon Sugar.Mix the Sugar and Cinnamon in a dish and set aside.
- Prep the Bread.Slice the bread into triangles and set aside.
- Mix up the batter.Put the Caster Sugar, Egg, Vanilla Extract in a large bowl and whisk to combine until the Sugar is dissolved.Then whisk in the Milk until completely combined.In a seperate bowl weigh out the Flour and Baking Powder then add to the wet ingredients and whisk until just smooth.
- Heat 1.5 inches of flavourless Oil in a frying pan.Whilst it is heating set up a large plate with paper towels to drain of excess oil. and bring the cinnamon sugar close.Check it's hot (you can test by gently dropping a little batter in and if it puffs and bubbles its ready)
- Once the oil is ready take your triangles of bread two at a time and dunk in the batter.Then once completely covered lay in the hot oil and watch it puff up and turn golden.After a couple of minutes turn gently and fry the second side.
- Once cooked, puffed and golden drain on the paper towel and then toss in the cinnamon sugar whilst still hot.
- Repeat with the remaining bread, you can keep them warm in a low oven but these take no time at all to cook so they will not be cold if you don't.Serve and enjoy.
