This is great. My dad got this recipe from his mother, a wonderful German lady named Eulalia. The recipe is deceptively simple. You have to be careful because brown sugar does not really dissolve in cold milk and the cinnamon wants to float on the surface and cling to the first piece of bread you put in the bowl.
Some people pour the cinnamon on after dipping it in the milk mixture and before cooking.
This is best topped with syrup and butter or powdered sugar. Mix all ingredients except bread very well in a bowl. Dip bread into bowl to coat. Fry on a greased pancake griddle or in a greased pan on a stove set medium-high.
