Armer Ritter   (German Version of French Toast)

Cut the bread into 1/4 inch slices.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Mix the milk with the eggs. Cut open the vanilla bean and scrape out the vanilla seeds. Mix into the milk mixture.

Melt some butter in a frying pan. Dunk bread slices for about 30 seconds in the milk mixture. Fry the bread slices immediately in the butter until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a place and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately.
