Start by removing the crusts from thick slices of white bread, then cut each slice into three equal thick batons.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, along with a pinch of salt, until well combined and frothy.

In a separate shallow plate, mix together white sugar and cinnamon, creating a sweet, aromatic coating for your sticks.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Quickly roll the prepared bread sticks in the egg mixture, ensuring each stick is coated but not soaked.

Carefully place the coated sticks in the heated pan and cook them in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Once cooked, immediately transfer the hot sticks to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat evenly.

Melt the remaining butter in the skillet and repeat the cooking process until all sticks are done.

Serve your warm, golden-brown Cinnamon French Toast Sticks immediately, optionally with maple syrup for dipping.
