Directions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together egg, egg whites, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and baking powder until well blended.
Place bread slices in a large shallow baking dish and pour egg mixture over the top; turn to coat evenly.
Press a piece of wax paper directly on the bread to cover it, then cover dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil and ½ teaspoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add four of the soaked bread slices to the pan and cook until golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the toast to a platter and keep warm in a warm oven.
Cook the remaining slices in the same manner, using the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and ½ teaspoon butter.
Serve with cinnamon syrup.
Cinnamon Syrup: In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon and ¼ cup water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in evaporated skim milk.
Let cool; transfer to a small pitcher.
(The syrup can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If desired, warm before serving.)
