For the toast:
eight 3/4 inch-thick slices brioche or challah, preferably day-old
For the batter:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
A large pinch ground cloves
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable or canola oil, for deep-frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving
Fresh fruit, fruit compote, stewed fruit, etc., for serving

1
Cut each slice of bread into thirds to make sticks. (Don't worry about making each piece perfectly straight and rectangular.)
2
For the batter, mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and fold, using a spatula, until just combined. The batter might be a little lumpy and that's perfectly fine, just make sure not to overmix.
3
In batches, immerse a few of the sticks into the batter and let sit for 3 minutes. Transfer the bread sticks to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain while the oil heats.
4
In a large, deep skillet, heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over high heat until it reads 350u00b0 F on a deep-fat thermometer. Working with a few at a time, fry the bread sticks for 3 minutes, flip, and fry on the second side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
5
Dust with confectioners' sugar, drizzle with maple syrup (or serve some in a cup alongside for dunking), and serve with fruit or any of its iterations, if you like. Serve immediately.
