Cinnamon French toast

Method

1. Put the softened butter in a bowl and mix in the cinnamon, a pinch of salt and half the sugar until all combined. In a shallow wide bowl or tray, whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt together until smooth. Spread one side of each slice of bread with a good layer of the cinnamon butter, then soak each slice in the milk mixture for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer butter-side up to a wire rack set over a tray to catch the drips.
2. a large frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once melted, add a few of the soaked bread slices butter-side up to the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes until crisp on the base. Turn over and cook for another 3 4 minutes. Repeat until all the bread is cooked. Serve sprinkled with icing sugar or add a little more butter and drizzle over some maple syrup.
