In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil (not olive oil) over medium heat.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, milk, flour, and baking powder.
2 Eggs, 2 ½ Tablespoons Sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 1 1/2 Cups Milk, 1 Cup Flour, 2 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
Working quickly, take each 1/2 slice of bread and soak it both sides in the milk/egg/flour mixture. If you leave it in too long, it will get soggy, but you want to make sure enough of the egg mixture has soaked into the bread.
12 Slices Toast
Gently shake to remove excess batter and place in hot oil.
Cook until puffed, golden brown, and a nice, crispy crust has formed on each side (probably 3-5 minutes per side; you really need to babysit them and make sure they're cooking correctly) and then remove from oil and drain on a paper towel.
When ready to serve, roll each piece in cinnamon sugar. (Don't skip it. It's delicious!)
