Gather the ingredients

• Get the bread, eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract ready.

Cut the bread into sticks

• Slice the bread into thick sticks that are easy for little hands to hold.

Make the custard

• Whisk the eggs with the milk in a bowl.
• Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.

Soak the sticks

• Dip each bread stick in the custard, turning so it is coated on all sides without getting soggy.

Cook the French toast sticks

• Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
• Cook the sticks on each side until golden and firm.

Taste test and serve

• Let the sticks cool slightly, then check the texture and serve.
