A delightful twist on classic French toast, these bite-sized treats are perfect for brunch or a sweet snack.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the baking powder.
Whisk in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make sure the batter is lump-free for even coating.
Cut the bread slices into bite-sized pieces.
Using slightly stale bread helps it hold its shape better.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a layer of oil.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the bread to prevent sticking.
Dip each bread piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Coat the bread evenly for a consistent texture.
Fry the bread pieces in the skillet until golden brown on all sides.
Turn the pieces frequently for even cooking.
Place the cooked pieces on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
This step keeps the bites crispy.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the bites before serving.
Add the sugar while the bites are warm for better adherence.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious French toast bites.
Pair with fresh fruit or syrup for an enhanced experience.
