- Whisk the eggs and the milk together with the sugar/sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a wide shallow bowl. Dip the bread into the egg wash, rotating quickly to soak evenly (don’t soak for too long or you’ll end up with soggy french toast).
- Prepare a separate shallow bowl with the remaining sugar (or sweetener) and ground cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar if using) for coating, Heat a non stick pan/skillet with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- When the pan is hot, fry the egg soaked bread in batches of 4 or 5 slices on low medium heat on each side until golden.
- Immediately dip each bread into the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat (use tongs to avoid burning your fingers).
- Fry remaining batch until golden and repeat coating with remaining toasts.
- Allow toasts to cool slightly. Take one churro toast; top with a scoop of ice cream (or frozen yogurt), and place another toast on top. Gently press the top down to adhere the toast to the ice cream. Serve immediately!
