Typical Easter treat in Spain, bread slices soaked in sugared milk, bathed in egg and fried in oil
Ingredientes
  • 4 cups (1 liter) milk
  • 3 tbsp sugar (or honey if you prefer)
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 2-3 medium eggs
  • Sunflower oil or other insipid oil for frying
  • Sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling
Instrucciones
  1. Slice the bread into 1 inch (2.5cm) slices. Arrange them on a shallow dish that can hold the milk.
  3. Pour all the milk in a saucepan with the sugar and the cinnamon stick, bring to a boil. Turn off the heat the moment it starts to boil and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the milk on the bread and let soak for 30 minutes.
  6. Beat the eggs in a plate large enough to hold at least one torrija.
  7. Heat the oil to medium in a large frying pan that can hold several torrijas at the same time. With a spatula (the bread might be overly soft), carefully transfer the soaked slices one by one into the egg and turn them to coat. Then transfer the slices to the hot oil.
  9. Fry for a couple of minutes on each side, until brown.
  11. Take out to a dish lined with a paper towel and thoroughly sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Enjoy warm or cold.
