Honey offers natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

butter

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative, while margarine is often cheaper.

Beat 2 eggs in a bowl.

Add milk and lemon zest to the eggs and mix well.

Add sugar and a pinch of salt, then let it rest to infuse the flavors.

Cut traditional Portuguese bread into thick slices, about 2 fingers thick.

Soak each slice of bread in the aromatic milk mixture until well saturated.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Fry the soaked bread slices until caramelized and golden brown on both sides.

Prepare the sauce by combining water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and Port wine in a pot.

Bring the sauce to a boil and let it reduce for about 15 minutes, adding orange and lemon peels for flavor.

Let the sauce cool for 30-40 minutes before serving with the rabanadas.
