Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old French baguette
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Slice the day-old French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal to increase surface area.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until well-combined and fluffy.
Step 4
Spread a generous layer of the butter-sugar mixture onto each slice of baguette, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Step 5
Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscochos are golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the biscochos to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve the biscocho as a delightful snack or dessert. For added sweetness, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before serving, but remember to adjust according to dietary needs.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
