1-First, remove the crust from each bread slice and cut each slice into 3 thick batons, aiming for about 1.7 cm (2/3 inch) thick for firmness.

2-In a bowl large enough for rolling, combine 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and a pinch of salt to create the mixture.

3-Next, mix 1/3 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder on a plate for coating.

4-Then, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.

5-Quickly roll the bread sticks in the egg mixture without soaking, shake off excess, and cook them in the pan in two batches for even cooking.

6-Turn the sticks to cook each side until golden brown, then immediately roll the hot cooked sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat for that flavorful finish.

7-After that, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook the rest of the bread sticks.

8-Serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping if desired.

For variations, consider using healthy additions like fresh greens from other recipes to balance the meal.
