Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, caster sugar, cinnamon & Cointreau in a shallow bowl.
Cut each slice of bread into triangles.
Soak the bread in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds then cook on a hot buttered griddle pan until cooked through.
The bread should be crisp on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. Repeat this for all of the bread.
To serve, drizzle with golden syrup and a dusting of icing sugar.
For a slightly healthier version serve with mixed berries!
