French Toast Sticks

2 eggs

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

8 slices white bread, cut into 4 strips each

About 3 tablespoons butter, divided

In a shallow dish, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon with a fork until well blended. Dip each bread strip into the mixture, coating completely.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
Cook the bread strips a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed.

Serve immediately or allow to cool, then cover and chill until ready to serve; when ready to serve, reheat in the oven or toaster oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until heated through.
