Sophie's Cinnamon French toast and bacon

1. 1

   Mix sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla essence in a shadow dish big enough place a slice of bread flat in.

2. 2

   Turn the heat on the frying pan.

3. 3

   Place a slice of bread into your mixture, and turn it so it is soaked in.

4. 4

   Don't soak it too much, or you will find it difficult to lift to the frying pan - it should still be slightly dry in the middle.

   Put a small amount of butter in the frying pan, moving it to cover a large enough area for your bread.

6. 6

   Cook for 2-3 mins or until it starts to turn golden.

7. 7

   Use a spatula to flip your bread slice, and repeat until golden on both sides.

8. 8

   Repeat until you have cooked all your bread.

9. 9

   To serve, place on a warm plate, top with three slices of bacon and maple syrup to taste.

10. 10

    NB: please be aware that different breads will need more or less egg mixture.

    If you are using thick or particularly large bread, you will need more.
