Steps

1 hour

1

Infuse the milk with the lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Heat until just about to boil, then remove from heat.
2

Soak the sponge cake slices in the milk for at least one hour. Add more milk if needed; I added a bit more because my slices were thick.
3

Dip each soaked slice in beaten egg, then fry in plenty of oil until golden.
4

While still hot, coat the torrijas in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5

Enjoy warm or cold. They’re delicious either way! You can serve them with a scoop of ice cream or some whipped cream.
