We begin by preparing the custard. In a saucepan, pour the milk together with the sugar, the cinnamon sticks, the lemon peel and the open vanilla pod (or a splash of liquid extract). We put it over medium heat until it is hot, but without boiling. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks while gradually pouring in the hot milk. Once mixed, we bring this preparation of yolks over low heat so that the custard thickens, always stirring constantly. We let them warm and remove the cinnamon and vanilla
To make the French toast, we cut the bread into slices of about 2 or 3 cm. thick. Arrange the slices of bread on a wide and deep dish and cover them with the custard, still warm. We leave them at rest for a few minutes so that they soak well.
We put a frying pan with plenty of oil on the fire. We remove the excess custard from each slice of bread, carefully pass them through the beaten egg and fry them one by one (at most two by two) in the hot oil until they are golden brown on both sides. We arrange them on absorbent kitchen paper and sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon
