Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices stale bread (French baguette or similar)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and water. Stir to combine.
In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon well.
Take each slice of stale bread and lightly brush one side with the melted butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Immediately after brushing with butter, dip or sprinkle the buttered side of the bread into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Place the slices, sugared side up, onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp to the touch.
Once done, remove from the oven and allow the biscocho to cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
