Poor Knights recipe

Playing the Cornhuskers made me think of all the recipes involving corn. We're playing the Scarlet Knights, and there aren't too many recipes involving knights, but this one seemed perfect.

Poor Knights

This "Poor Knights" recipe is an ancient way to make stale bread taste good again.

Ingredients:
4 thick slices of bread
2 eggs beaten
1 cup white or red wine
1 tablespoon sugar
Oil for frying
Confectioners sugar to serve
Cinnamon to serve

Directions:
Cut crusts off bread and cut into quarters. Place in a deep dish.
In a bowl, mix eggs with wine, cinnamon and sugar. Pour over the bread and leave to soak for 3 minutes.
Pour oil 1/2-inch deep into pan. Heat on medium high. Drain the bread and slide it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and ground cinnamon.

Strain the Dubonet from a cocktail mixer full of ice cubes into a martini glass.

To make the 2019 version, substitute salty tears for the Dubonnet.
