Join me and let's see how to make Torrijas express
Instructions:
Step 1
Infuse the milk with the orange and lemon peels, the cinnamon stick and about 3 tablespoons of brown sugar over medium heat. Remove it from the heat once it starts to boil.
Step 2
Cut the bread about the thickness of 2 fingers into slices, perhaps a little less.
Step 3
When the milk is ready, strain it, to separate the rest.
Step 4
It's time to soak the slices completely in the milk, especially the crust of the bread so that they are not too hard when the torrijas are fried.
Step 5
Drain the slices of bread and place the sugar on a plate. To be able to soak all the sides with sugar mixing with cinnamon powder, remember to shake the slices to remove the excess.
Step 6
It's time to caramelize the slices, to do this, use the kitchen torch and pass it all over the surface of the bread to achieve maximum caramelization. Try not to make it too close or that the flame is not very strong to prevent it from burning.
Step 7
It's time to enjoy!!
