The quantities follow this count.

8 thick bread slices
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar

How to cook it

Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a wide shallow dish.
Lay the bread slices, a day or two stale if you have them, into the egg mixture and let them soak for 1 minute per side, until softened but not falling apart.
Melt a little of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the soaked bread in batches for 3 minutes per side, until deeply golden, adding more butter between batches.
Dust the fried bread generously with the cinnamon sugar while still warm and serve straight away; what a German kitchen does with a Broetchen that has gone hard, a different dish from a batter Pfannkuchen.
