Hello and welcome to In The Kitchen With Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make cinnamon
French toast sticks.
Super fun way to make French toast.
Really easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it before you move on.
Make sure to subscribe to my channel here that notification
bill so you don't miss on any of my new videos.
Let's get started down below in the description box,
you'll find a list of the ingredients and their amounts.
All right.
Let's begin by making the little custard, I guess you can
call it for the bread or the French toast.
And so I just have three eggs here
and I'm going to add in milk.
This is about three tablespoons.
Two tablespoons of milk does not have to be exact at all.
And we'll take a whisk
and we'll just whisk that up really well.
This is just a simple
egg mixture for classic French toast.
And then what I like to do is take a little bit of cinnamon
and shake some cinnamon in there, probably.
About an eighth of a teaspoon of cinnamon, again,
doesn't have to be exact.
We'll get another whiskey and you can put more or less,
if you want, of the cinnamon.
But again, these are called cinnamon French toast sticks.
I'm going to set this aside for now.
And then I have my bread.
This is a Texas toast style bread, nice and thick.
You can use whatever bread that you want.
I like using a thicker bread.
It just makes the sticks turn out better, I think.
And now let's cut off these edges.
The crust you can leave the crust on if you want, also save
that crust, you can dry it out and make my croutons with it.
You could also make homemade breadcrumbs with it.
And then I'm going to take it.
I'm going to cut these in thirds.
And so I have about three
cinnamon sticks or three sticks of bread for each
slice of bread.
And then I use three eggs in this mixture, but depending on
how many people you want to make it for, you may use less.
You may need more belly up to you.
It's really easy just to make up a new batch if needed,
that is ready to go.
And then I'm just going to get this ready.
I have some
I have about half a cup of sugar in this pie plate and add
in about a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Doesn't have to be exact.
You can use more or less.
I normally have cinnamon sugar mix on hand that I can use,
but this is just a really quick, easy mixture and
then I'll just take a risk and I'll just mix this up.
And maybe I'll just do a few more shakes and want a little
bit more cinnamon in their.
I like a lot of cinnamon.
All right, that's good.
I will set this aside for now.
Now take a skillet like a nonstick skillet or like a
pancake griddle and set the heat to medium, which is about
350 Fahrenheit or one seven six Celsius.
While that's going, what you can do is you can start dipping
some of these and what you'll do, you'll just take it
and you'll just dip it in there.
And it's always helpful,
helpful to use tongs.
You could use your fingers if you want,
but we'll just give that a good dip or just put a couple
more in here.
And now I'm going to add some butter, about a tablespoon
of butter and just put that on the pan.
You can use more or less if you want or if you don't want to
use butter, you could use cooking oil if you don't want
to use milk and the rest of the egg mixture, you can use
like almond milk.
And once the butter melts in the pan is hot, we will take
these and put them on there and then cook.
And if you soak the bread too long in the egg mixture,
then it's going to get really mushy.
So don't let it soak too long.
And now we're just going to brown each side
like you would make in classic French toast.
I wanted to show you what they look like.
If you soak them too long, they'll be a lot of the egg
mixture stuck to the bread and it just won't turn out
as nice.
But it's OK.
It'll still work.
And these ones right here about the right amount of
egg mixture.
And once you round all the sides like this one
right here, Aaron Brown all the way, just take him off the
heat and put him on a plate,
takes a little bit longer than normal French toast because you
have to keep Ternium, but it makes it really fun.
Nice little finger food, French toast sticks.
And now once you have them all cooked, you can take them
and you can use either your fingers or if you have
clean hands, use those and just roll them in the cinnamon sugar
mix and then I'm going to take them and stack them
on this plate.
Or you can
certainly come in here with the tanks and do it
or wear gloves.
And then I will put in some maple syrup and it is ready
to go, and you could do other types of syrups that you want,
like a strawberry sauce or a chocolate sauce, a variety of
different sources that you can use.
And then you have some little finger food, cinnamon,
French toast sticks.
You can dip in there and eat them.
Pretty awesome.
