Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Warm the milk with 40 g of sugar, the vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a small pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

2. 2

   Pour the milk into a shallow dish and let it cool until lukewarm.

3. 3

   Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish.

4. 4

   Lay the bread in the milk for 20-30 seconds per side, until soaked through but still holding its shape.

5. 5

   Lift each slice out, let it drip, then coat both sides in the eggs.

6. 6

   Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until it foams.

7. 7

   Fry half the slices until deep golden, 2-3 min per side.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the tops with a little of the remaining sugar, flip and cook until it caramelizes, 30-60 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

9. 9

   Add the rest of the butter for the second batch. Serve hot.
