How To Make French Toast Sticks?
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, icing sugar, maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Cut each slice of bread into thirds and dip them in the egg mixture.
In a small dish, mix ½ cup of granulated sugar with ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon until well combined. Then heat a large skillet and coat it with cooking spray.
Two to brown the sticks on all sides, once they are hot. Finally, remove from the pan and immediately roll it in the cinnamon sugar so that it covers all sides.
How Do You Need For The French Toast Sticks Recipe?
Eggs: Always use high-quality eggs. And if you want to know if your eggs have spoiled, just put them in a bowl full of water. And in the event that they sink to the bottom or lie flat on their sides, this means that they are fresh. And if they keep floating in the middle, they won’t be very fresh, but still good. In case they float, get rid of them.
Powdered sugar: for me, I only use it because it dissolves faster than granulated sugar
White granulated sugar: Mixed with cinnamon powder, it is considered the best coating for French toast. It makes them taste like churros!
Maple syrup: dual purpose. Used for dipping as well as for egg mixture. It adds another layer of flavor and sweetness to the egg mixture.
Ground Cinnamon: It wouldn’t be Cinnamon French Toast without it! Make sure the cinnamon is still good before using it. Give it a taste of the scent. It should smell strongly of cinnamon. If the spice is stored for a long time, it can lose its potency.
Sliced white bread: Try to use bread that is not too soft, or maybe use stale bread. For me, I find that if the bread is too soft, it either falls apart or comes out too soft. If you like, you can also use whole wheat bread or even potato bread.
Cooking Spray: Let’s face it, they already have enough calories! For example, I use flavored butter.

Tips To Make The Best French Toast Sticks
Use icing sugar in the egg mixture. It dissolves instantly.
As for me, I like to keep my edges on the slices of bread because they cook very well. Also you can remove them if you want.
Never let the breadsticks sit for too long in the egg mixture or they will become too soft and mushy.
Next, roll them in cinnamon sugar once removed from the pan so they stick properly.
Brown sticks on all four sides.
Directions
Step 1 First mix the eggs, powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl with a fork until well combined. And then dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture.
Step 2 Then coat a frying pan with non-stick spray and heat over medium heat. Place chopsticks in a hot skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes; turn over and cook until browned on other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the second batch.
Storing French Toast Sticks
In an airtight container, store the remaining French toast sticks within two hours of cooking. They can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for 1-2 months.
Freezing French Toast Sticks
Let it cool completely and, if possible, place it on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour.
And once they are frozen, you can then transfer them to a freezer bag. This way they won’t stick together once they’re frozen, and you can remove as many as you want without having to thaw them all.
