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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon well.
Step 4
Take each slice of stale bread and lightly brush one side with the melted butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Step 5
Immediately after brushing with butter, dip or sprinkle the buttered side of the bread into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Step 6
Place the slices, sugared side up, onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping to allow even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread slices are golden brown and crisp to the touch.
Step 8
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.
