Steps

60 min

1

In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick.
2

Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
3

While the milk is heating, slice the bread and arrange the slices on a tray, ready to soak with the milk mixture.
4

Soak the bread slices well on both sides, turning carefully so they don't break.
5

Beat the eggs. When the oil is very hot, dip each soaked bread slice in the beaten eggs, coating both sides, then fry in the oil.
6

Once golden brown on both sides, remove the torrijas and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7

Finally, mix sugar and ground cinnamon on a plate and coat each torrija in the mixture one by one.
