Brazilian French Toast


Ingredients
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs. dark rum (or rum flavoring)
Pinch of salt
3 eggs, lightly beaten
8 baguette slices, cut diagonally 1 inch thick
Canola oil for frying

Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, water, vanilla, rum, salt and eggs. Pour into a shallow baking dish. Place the baguette slices in the egg mixture, then turn them over; they should be completely submerged in the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

In a deep fryer, or a deep pan pour in oil and heat to 375°F according to the manufacturer’s instructions or put on medium-high heat if using a pan. Working in batches, fry the bread until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sugar. Serve immediately.
