Poor Knights

Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl, add the sugar, and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated and the bread has absorbed the mixture.

Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it is hot and shimmering but not smoking.

Place the soaked bread slices carefully into the hot oil and fry until the underside is golden brown.

Flip each slice using a spatula and fry the other side until equally golden brown and crisp.

Remove the fried bread slices from the pan and drain them briefly on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Dust the finished Poor Knights generously with confectioners' sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then serve immediately while warm.
