From the Danai Honeybees: Augofetes (Sweet Greek Toast)

With love from The Danai’s four Queendoms:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and orange zest. Stir in the brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla powder
   and pinch of salt. Soak the bread slices in the liquid for
   5–10 minutes.
2. For the cinnamon-sugar (if using), mix the cinnamon with caster sugar and stir with a fork. Set aside.
3. In a frying pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Brown the soaked slices of bread on both sides until golden and crispy and then remove them.
4. Either drizzle the bread with the honey or coat it with the sweet cinnamon-sugar blend. Serve both options warm.
