Brown sugar: Lends a deep caramel flavor and helps create the gooey ribbon in the middle Dark brown sugar gives the most flavor
Cinnamon: Adds cozy warmth and classic sweetness Fresh ground cinnamon is noticeably more fragrant
Eggs: These bind the bread while frying for a custardy shell Use large fresh eggs for best dipping
Milk: Helps loosen the egg wash for a creamier dip Whole milk gives the richest texture
Vanilla extract: Just a small dash brings out all the flavors Go for pure extract if you can
Additional butter for frying: Makes for that irresistible crunchy fried crust
