Ingredients

• 2 slices brioche 3/4-inch thick
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons jelly
• 1 large egg
• 1/6 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/6 cup milk
• 3/8 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• Step 1

  Slice brioche loaf into thick slices, about 3/4 inches.

  

• Step 2

  Dollop 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of jelly in the center of the bread. Put the slices together and press around the edges to seal the bread. Set aside.

  

• Step 3

  For the batter: Add 2 eggs, 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk until the lumps disappear.

  

• Step 4

  Dip each side of the sandwich in the batter.

  

• Step 5

  Cook at medium heat
  
  #SpoonTip: In order to see if your oil is ready, dip the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick in. If the oil bubbles steadily, it's ready. If it bubbles rapidly, turn the heat down and wait a couple minutes.

  

• Step 6

  Use tongs and place the sandwich in the oil. Fry for 30 seconds on each side.

  

• Step 7

  Dab off the extra oil. Place the sandwich in a mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Eat up!
