French Toast Sticks

2 eggs
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices white bread, each cut into 4 strips
3 tablespoons butter, divided

In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs, sugar, milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon with a fork until well blended. Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating completely.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook the bread strips a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed.

Serve immediately or allow to cool, then cover and chill until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, reheat in the oven or toaster oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until heated through.
