Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, water, vanilla, rum, salt and eggs. Pour into a shallow baking dish. Place the baguette slices in the egg mixture, then turn them over; they should be completely submerged in the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

In a deep fryer, pour in oil and heat to 375°F according to the manufacturer's instructions. Working in batches, fry the bread until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle generously with French toast sugar. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
