Cinnamon French Toast Sticks

Ingredients:
4 thick slices white bread (see note)
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs
1/4 c. milk
Salt
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Maple syrup, to serve (optional)

Directions:
Cut each slice into 4 sticks.  Remove the crust if you want (this is optional but makes it look neater).

Combine the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll the bread sticks in.

Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.  

Heat half of the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.  

Roll the stick in the egg mixture quickly (do not soak them), shake off excess and place in pan.  Cook in batches if needed.  Turn to cook each side until golden.  Immediately transfer to the plate with the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat.  It's important to do this quickly while they are hot straight out of the pan so it sticks.

Melt remaining butter and cool the remaining french toast sticks.  Serve immediately with maple syrup to dunk the sticks in.

Note~ French toast is best made using stale bread.  Fresh bread soaks up too much egg mixture, making it soggy on the inside of your sticks will flop when you pick them up.
