Rabanada (Brazilian French Toast)

    

February 1, 2017

Rabanada is best described as a Brazilian version of French toast that is most commonly made during the Christmas season. This is a fantastic variation of traditional French Toast that should have a crispy crust with a sweet, soft, and flavorful inside. This sugar and cinnamon sprinkled indulgent treat came to Brazil by way of the Iberian peninsula, yet remains distinctly it’s own compared to Torrija and similar variations.

Ingredients

Vegetable Oil

4 Slices of Day Old Baguette, 3/4 inch thick

1 cup Milk

1 tsp Vanilla

2 Egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

Maple Syrup

Directions

1In a shallow baking dish, arrange the bread slices in a single layer. In a small bowl mix the milk, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Pour the milk over the bread slices . Allow the bread to soak up the milk mixture for at least 20 minutes.

2In the meantime mix the additional 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside . Finally, in a large skillet heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium high heat.

3When the bread has soaked up the milk, carefully pick up a piece of bread, dip in the beaten egg and place in heated oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip to cook an additional 1-2 minutes on that side.

4Transfer the golden brown rabanadas to the sheet pan. When all are cooked, dredge all sides of the bread in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve with maple syrup.
