This dessert is traditionally served at Christmas time but is great any time of year. Especially in the colder months accompanied by a glass of port wine.
It's basically slices of bread soaked in milk then fried. There's more to them then that, though. But they are delicious and one of my favourite desserts. Here is how to make them.
Ingredients
1,2 lt milk
8 slices of bread
6 eggs
6 table spoons of sugar
Skin of half a lemon
2 cinnamon sticks
Vegetable oil
Ground cinnamon and sugar to taste
Bring the milk to a boil with the cinnamon sticks and the lemon skin. Let it cool down. Beat the eggs until well beaten. Pour the milk into a deep plate so that it's easier to soak the bread slices in the milk. Be careful not to let them soak for too long as they will break and we don't want that. Do this and then pass the slices through the beaten eggs. Next, fry the slices in hot oil until they are golden brown.Turn them over as necessary. Place them over kitchen paper so that the excess oil may be lost, then place in the serving platter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Enjoy.
