Holy Week begins and, to put ourselves in the situation, it is best to prepare some simple torrijas.
To make them we can buy the specific bread for this preparation or use the bread that we have at home. The special thing about this recipe is that we will bathe the bread in milk and cream that we will have previously flavored with cinnamon and lemon.
It is also important to prepare a good syrup in which to bathe them once made. You have everything in images, in the step-by-step photos.
But there will be almost as many varieties of torrijas as there are families. I leave you the link to an article where you will find other possibilities: 5 different types of torrijas for Easter

Ingredients
- 400 g of bread in not very thin slices
For the bathroom:
- 200 g of liquid cream
- 400g milk
- Cinnamon stick
- The skin of 1 organic lemon (only the yellow part)
- 60 g of sugar
- 2 eggs
For the syrup:
- 250 g of water
- 100 g honey
- 1 stick of cinnamon
Preparation
We cut the bread into not very thin slices. We put it in one or two sources.
We put the cream, the milk, the cinnamon stick, the sugar and the lemon peel in a saucepan. We put it on the fire and leave infusions for a few minutes over low heat, until the milk begins to boil.
With a saucepan, we put the milk on the slices of bread.
We wait about 30 minutes for the bread to soak well in the milk.
In a plate or bowl we beat the two eggs.
We put plenty of oil in a large saucepan to fry. We put it on fire.
When the oil is hot, we pass the bread bathed in milk through the beaten egg.
Next, we fry it. We will have to fry the slices little by little and remove them on a plate where we will have put absorbent paper.
Then we place them in a large source.
In a small saucepan we put the water, honey and the cinnamon stick. We put it on the fire, over low heat, for at least 15 minutes.
We pour the syrup on the fried bread.
Let cool before serving.
